Dr Eithne Dowds

Dr Eithne Dowds’ research intersects the areas of international criminal law, feminist legal theory, sexual offences and children born of sexual violence in conflict. Her monograph, Feminist Engagement with International Criminal Law: Norm Transfer, Complementarity, Rape and Consent (Hart publishing 2020), introduces and further develops the feminist strategy of 'norm transfer': the proposal that feminist informed standards created at the level of international criminal law make their way into domestic contexts. The book uses the crime of rape as a case study and offers a new perspective on one of the most contentious debates within international and domestic criminal legal feminism: the relationship between consent and coercion in the definition of rape.
