Abstract

This chapter explores the intersection of TWAIL and critical feminist approaches through different configurations such as TWAIL and Feminisms, TWAIL-Feminisms, and TWAIL Feminisms. These configurations critically examine the structural inequalities embedded in international law, revealing how these systems perpetuate power imbalances favoring a few while marginalizing others. TWAIL Feminisms challenge the notion of universal legal principles and subjects by highlighting the different, complex and often conflicting experiences of those in the periphery. TWAIL Feminisms are not merely gendered perspectives but comprehensive critiques of international law's hegemonic structures which affect everyone, however differentially. Through different illustrations, the chapter analyses ways in which TWAIL Feminisms intervene in international legal structures and processes with the aim of reimagining it through the experiences and alternate epistemologies of different marginalized subjects where marginality is also a location of empowered clarity from where the status quo is challenged.
