De facto and de jure social injustices are an expression of the id quo. These impulses have a detrimental effect on womenโs daily lives, making it a lot more difficult for them to enjoy their human rights. This document has shared data particles of knowledge about current injustices occurring to โmadโ and โintersectionalโ women in the UK, the psychological impact of these injustices (e.g. Borderline Personality Disorder), and the legal framework of international law, which the UK is subject to.

The UKโs Domestic Abuse Act 2021 does not fully cover all the criteria necessary for the prevention and protection of womenโs rights, as well as the prosecution of perpetrators of violence against women.
