Abstract

This paper offers a preliminary analysis of a gender perspective on evidence. It shows the connection between a gender perspective on evidence with feminism and feminist perspectives on evidence. It also shows that the scope of a gender perspective on evidence covers the entire field of Evidence. It finally shows that the corroboration requirement could be examined from a gender perspective. The corroboration requirement is inimical to the victims and strengthens a structural skepticism about her credibility.

Keywords

gender perspective on evidence, feminist perspectives on evidence, victim testimony, credibility, corroboration requirement
