International protection, gender persecution, dichotomy public-private, androcentric biasAbstract
Even though gender is not specifically referenced in the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the status of refugees, during the last decade many efforts had been made in order to take into account gender in the status determination processes, and many women have been granted refugee status on account of their gender. Notwithstanding women still face more difficulties than men to be recognized as refugees due to the androcentric bias in the law interpretation. A more inclusive interpretation of the law is needed so as to widen the subject of the International Refugee Law and affirm the universality of this area of the law. To that end, defy the dichotomy public-private is of paramount importance
