When "Feminist Beliefs" Became Credible as "Political Opinions": Returning to a Key Moment in Canadian Refugee Law
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This submission highlights the key feminist inroad into the protection of refugee women fleeing persecution over the past twenty years—the moment in which Canadian state machinery formally engaged the fact that women may suffer social, political, or other forms of persecution because they are women. Drawing upon a myriad of sources, the submission illustrates the highly personal experiences that colour this engagement between feminism and the law, as well as the challenge of making women's experiences as women legally relevant and politically meaningful. Le présent exposé met en lumière les incursions féministes clés dans la protection des réfugiées qui ont fui la persécution durant les vingt dernières´années—le moment pendant lequel l'État canadien a pris formellement connaissance du fait que les femmes peuvent subir des formes particulières de persécution sociale, politique ou autre, parce qu'elles sont femmes. En se fondant sur de multiples sources, l'exposé illustre les expériences très personnelles qui colorent cet engagement entre le féminisme et le droit aussi bien que le défi de rendre les expériences des femmes comme femmes pertinentes en droit et significatives sur le plan politique.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
