Presentation to UN Women and Born to Succeed on gender rights under international law

ALT Advisory’s Avani Singh was invited to present on a panel on Women’s Day 2019 on the ambit of gender rights under international law. The event was hosted by UN Women, Born to Succeed and Sasol. The panel covered various topics, including violence against women on- and offline, gender-based violence in conflict zones and the disproportionate impact that forced migration has on women. A key focus of the discussion was how the law can be used as an instrument to ensure a safe environment, and practical measures to vindicate the rights guaranteed under international human rights law.
