This collection of essays explores how the complexity of human identity and disadvantage affects the articulation realisation violation and enforcement of human rights. It uses intersectionality theory as a lens for examining whether the human rights discourse based on its universal and common values is equipped to capture and respond to the difference in people’s lived experience of rights. In particular it analyses the experience of those who find themselves at the margins of human rights eg those who are severally and severely disadvantaged because of their race religion gender age disability sexual orientation class etc.
