“Gender is a lens that helps us understand conflict and atrocity.” Last week, our Board member @akilarad.bsky.social spoke at @tmcasser.bsky.social on the role of women’s rights in shaping treaty interpretation, and why international law must reflect lived realities.

Gender justice is not optional. At the UN Prep Comm on a Crimes Against Humanity Convention, Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice was clear: a gender-competent approach is essential to the Convention’s legitimacy, effectiveness, and authority. 📍UN, New York | 20 Jan 2026 | @akilarad.bsky.social
