This article by Zeynep Derya Tarman and Meltem Ece Oba examines the Court of Justice of the European Union’s Grand Chamber judgment of 16 January 2024 in Case C-621/21 in the context of international protection for women victims of gender-based violence. It focuses on the Court’s gender-sensitive reading of refugee status and subsidiary protection, the treatment of women as members of a ‘particular social group’, the State’s duty of protection against persecution by non-State actors, and the assessment of serious harm linked to gender-based violence under subsidiary protection.
Whether women victims of gender-based violence can qualify for refugee status and subsidiary protection under EU asylum law.
