(Event documentation/presentation) Online impulse circle: New perspectives for refugee women?! – The ECJ ruling of January 16 and its impact, 2024
Publisher: Victoria Lies
Short description: On 16.01.2024, the European Court of Justice reached a landmark decision that supports the rights of refugee women. In order to be granted refugee status, membership of a particular social group must be established. “Women” were previously regarded as “too large a group” and “not delimitable”; the Court has now clarified that status as a social group cannot be denied in the context of gender-specific persecution.What are the requirements for refugee status? What does the ECJ ruling mean for asylum procedures in future? What advice is important in the context of asylum procedures and gender-based violence? These questions were part of the keynote speech by lawyer Victoria Lies. The contents of the keynote speech can be viewed in the presentation.
