Launch of Women's Charters & Declarations

Join the Women of Colour student Collective and Inter Gentes: The McGill Journal of International Law & Legal Pluralism for the launch of Women's Charters & Declarations, an online database of women's legal and political advocacy tools used to advance equal rights and women's political participation. These charters are from around the world and deal with a variety of issues, from political participation to social issues to sports. The six members on the advisory board of this project include McGill Law’s Professor Vrinda Narain, as well as two UN Special Rapporteurs, anthropology professors, and activists.

We will be holding a roundtable discussion, open to the public, with feminist scholars, activists, and students, on the importance of a material archive of women's advocacy tools and how these documents can be used to mobilise new generations of feminists to learn and adapt these tools to their local contexts.
