Abstract

Citizenship is an act, a status and an identity. However, for many women marginalised by virtue of their race, caste or ethnicity, citizenship is oftentimes a precarious ideal that must be defended from institutions that misrecognise their intersectional justice claims and ostensible allies who devalue or disrespect their activism and agency. This panel explores the intersectional politics of different kinds of women seeking to claim, defend and/or advance their citizenship status and rights.
