'This publication does not have the ambition to present a complete or definite study on the gender dimensions of racial discrimination. It provides an overview which examines a set of fundamental issues on the intersectionality between gender and racial discrimination. This is enough to understand how women experience multiple discrimination and what challenges lie for us at Durban to ensure we conclude with a declaration and programme of action which live up to the high ideals and principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: universality and indivisibility of all human rights, equality and non-discrimination.'
The aim of this article is to examine what the discourses around the notion of citizenship could offer in the rethinking about racism as wel as anti-racism. It also aims to highlight the gendered nature of both citizenship and racism which needs to be incorporated to any rethinking about anti-racism.
