- It uses real laws and cases to support the research.
- Kenya is used to show how these ideas work in real life.
- It includes women’s groups to understand real experiences.

The Politics of Feminist Legal Theories: International Law and Diplomacy from a Kenyan–British Perspective in Poland.
It examines how feminist legal theories are not only used to critique international law, but are also reshaped through the political and diplomatic processes through which international legal norms are produced. It further shows how feminist ideas shape, and are shaped by, processes of norm-making and interpretation within multilateral diplomacy. The study draws on liberal, radical, and cultural feminist approaches, while being primarily grounded in critical and post-structural feminist legal theory, enabling an analysis of law as constituted through power relations, discourse, and institutional constraints.
The central argument is that feminist legal theory and international law are mutually constitutive. Feminist legal concepts are not simply applied to international legal frameworks; they are transformed through negotiation, institutional language, and the constraints of multilateral diplomacy. This dynamic is particularly visible in gender equality norms, including those relating to sexual autonomy and gender-based violence.
Methodologically, the research combines doctrinal legal analysis, critical discourse analysis, and comparative case studies. It engages with international instruments such as CEDAW, the Maputo Protocol, and United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, as well as selected jurisprudence from both European and Kenyan contexts. It also incorporates empirical engagement with grassroots women’s organisations, including Maendeleo ya Wanawake Organisation (MYWO) in Kenya, to examine how international legal norms are understood at the community level.
The Kenyan-British perspective is used as an analytical framework to interrogate how historical legal positioning, institutional power, and geopolitical asymmetry shape the production and reception of feminist legal norms.
