Justice is to be done regardless of money, race etc. but also of gender. However, the law, including international law, is not a perfect system, and just like the people who made it, it is biased.
This interactive one-week course will look at law from a gender perspective, encompassing cis, gay, trans* and intersex perspectives. The focus is primarily on human rights but will cut across other areas of international law, such as refugee law. Through lectures, excursions, and group assignments, topical issues will be explored and analysed, linking theory and practice.
