Gender Perspectives on International Human Rights, Humanitarian, Refugee and Criminal Law

Furthering its commitment to work with educational institutions to engender the discourse on conflict resolution and security, WISCOMP in collaboration with Lady Shri Ram College organized a three day seminar-cum-workshop titled Gender Perspectives on International Human Rights, Humanitarian, Refugee and Criminal Law. The workshop sought to equip the participants with a variety of methods and vantage points to understand, recognize and claim human rights through a gendered, yet plural lens.

The growth of the women’s international human rights movement worldwide and its emergence as a field of study has led to a valuable but increasingly self-contained discourse, often cut off from developments in feminist legal theory, on the one hand, and conceptions of the different legal contexts in which international human rights operate, on the other. By bringing together the developments in the areas, inter alia, of international law, human rights, refugee and migration studies, and international criminal law, this workshop attempted to situate women’s international human rights in broader debates raised by feminist legal theory and postcolonial theory.

 
Wiscomp was established as part of the efforts of the Foundation for Universal Responsibility to build a culture of coexistence and nonviolence that is gender-sensitive and inclusive. A not-for-profit, non-sectarian, non-denominational organization, the Foundation promotes universal responsibility in a manner that celebrates a diversity of beleifs and practices, and that contributes to a global ethic of nonviolence, coexistence and gender equity. The work of the Foundation is global in its reach and transcends nationalist political agendas.
