As feminist socio-legal research, the aim of the work is not merely to write about those affected, but to talk with them first and to include their experiences. With this approach, the law of books could be compared with the law of action.
Following this strategy, Israeli asylum law was examined as to whether it has gender-specific perspectives to guarantee legal and actual access to justice. In particular, it concerns access to justice to the asylum procedure and within.
In order to examine access to justice, unstructured interviews were conducted with six Eritrean women in Israel. The intersectional multi-level analysis according to Winker and Degele (2010) identified five types of suppression and discrimination – gender, wage labour, mental health, generativity and race – as crucial for barred access to justice.
The comparison of international treaties and standards and national laws and procedures also revealed blatant backlogs in the gender-specific interpretation at a national level.
This research has shown that there is a tremendous need to catch up, so that the Israeli asylum procedure, on the one hand, complies with international recommendations and, on the other hand, guarantees access to justice for female refugees.
