“…Overall, research in legal systems has demonstrated that laws have historically changed and improved outcomes for women in some areas, but emphasises that these systems are still resistant to hearing women's voices (Ailwood, Easteal and Kennedy 2012). Legal researchers have argued (particularly from a feminist framework) that feminist perspectives are critical to understand and respond to violence inside IJCJSD 10(4) 2021 and outside legal institutions, often proposing legal reform or ideas on addressing violence without engaging with legal institutions, because feminists understand the legal system as frequently engaged in silencing and victimising women (Auchmuty and Van Marle 2012;Carrington et al 2020;Kaladelfos and Featherstone 2014).…”

This article considers the voices of migrant women engaging with Home Affairs to guarantee permanent residency (PR) in Australia after experiencing domestic violence. Data collected from longitudinal interviews with 20 participants were considered, with two participants’ stories analysed in detail. The research indicates how the legal immigration system is set up in a way that does not listen to women and disadvantages them. Particular issues pointed out include extended timelines, lack of concern for cultural differences and inconsistencies in the process, and how they affect women undermining the goal of the law, which is to protect migrants from sponsors’ violence.

This chapter portrays the initial appearance of modern public law in late eighteen-century Europe as homocentric, and its gradual profiling, in the centuries to follow, across the globe, as gender-balanced. It also addresses the reforming force of the international instruments in achieving gender-balanced public law on a national level, as well as the inherent limits of those instruments due to the inevitable pluralism of public law approaches to gender equality in areas of reasonable disagreement. Furthermore, authors will analyse structural, institutional, and cultural factors that play a part in the underrepresentation of women at all worldwide governmental levels. However, they emphasise that electing more women in state institutions is only the first step. What is necessary is to ensure that women have a tangible impact on public policies. Thus, they conclude that empowering women is a multi-layered process that is much more complex than choosing an equal number of women in state institutions. Public law aspects on gender-based violence as well as anti-discrimination measures are also included in this chapter.
