Abstract

Lynsey Mitchell explores how feminist legal work in the UK highlights global gender equality efforts through saviour narratives, yet overlooks domestic racism and patriarchy. The author critiques the securitisation of feminist discourse post-9/11, revealing its reliance on colonial hierarchies and promotion of a progressive narrative centered on first world societies.
