Alternative Jurisdictions

Ayelet Shachar makes jurisdictional proposals that differ from but focus on the same problems as the equality tribunal. Shachar directly engages with the issue of how to legislate for both multiculturalism and gender equality. She takes as her starting point the fact that the demands of minority cultural groups are often in conflict with wom- en’s equal rights. This forms what she calls ‘‘the paradox of multicul- tural vulnerability,’’ which occurs ‘‘whenever state accommodation pol- icies intended to mitigate the power differential between groups end up reinforcing power hierarchies within them.’’56 Shachar develops the approach of ‘‘joint governance’’ to solve this paradox without abandon- ing either multicultural accommodation or equal citizenship.
