Explains guidelines issued Mar. 1993 by the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board entitled, "Women refugee claimants fearing gender-related persecution." Also considers whether "gender" ought to be added to the list of grounds of persecution in the Immigration Act.

In the context of immigration & emigration, Canada's role as a gidsland in three complex human rights/citizenship case studies is explored, focusing on circumstances resulting from structural deficiencies or inhibitions in the international system.
