This webinar, which is part of ASIL’s Signature Topic on Advancing Gender Justice, aims to take stock of several initiatives to increase the participation of women, in all their diversity, in various spaces of international law and from different perspectives. These will include, among others, UN and regional human rights institutions, the International Court of Justice, the Women, Peace and Security framework, and perspectives from Africa and Latin America. In a roundtable format, speakers will address where we are today, what has already been done, what remains outstanding, and challenges to advancing the equal participation of women, in all their diversity, as a component of achieving gender justice. The event is co-sponsored by the Gqual Campaign and by the Working Group on Gender Parity for the International Court of Justice.
