This online event will explore the findings from the first ever report of its kind to assess gender equality, fairness and equity across 171 law and justice institutions worldwide.
The report examines global institutions spanning the breadth of the law and justice ecosystem, including courts, commissions, intergovernmental bodies, international NGOs, law firms, bar associations, and funders.
What to expect:
- Get a first look at headline findings from this landmark global assessment.
- Gain an insight into why gender justice matters for fair, effective, and trusted justice systems – especially in the face of backlash and the rise of authoritarian regimes.
- A panel discussion on how evidence and accountability can drive progressive change across the justice sector.
Who you’ll be hearing from:
- Hon. Janet Ramatoulie Sallah-Njie, Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Women in Africa, Commissioner of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights.
- Melene Rossouw LLM, Founder of Women Lead Movement.
- Hon. Justice Nadia Kangaloo, Judiciary of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
- Govindi Deerasinghe LLM, Justice Sector Lead at Global 50/50.
- The discussion will be moderated by James Chau, President of the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF).
Whether you work in law, human rights, policy, funding, advocacy – or are simply interested in how justice systems can work better for everyone – this conversation is for you.
