Whew. What an overwhelming first day. Second plenary at the Nobel Women’s Initiative conference on Ending Sexual Violence in Conflict starts at 3:00PM ET today, and I’ll be liveblogging it right here. Hoping to get some of your questions in live!
Here’s the description of our charge for the afternoon:
This panel aims to give a round up of efforts to prosecute perpetrators at the international and local levels. From the International Criminal Court to grassroots mobile courts, women have spearheaded various alternative and innovative forms of justice. What is needed to strengthen these efforts to ensure greater accountability and prosecution?
And here are the featured presenters:
Moderator: Susannah Sirkin – Physicians for Human Rights, USA
Speakers:
Anuradha Bhagwati – Service Women’s Action Network, US
Naw K’nway Paw Nimrod – Women’s League of Burma, Thailand
Andrea Medina Rosas – Red Mesa de Mujeres de Ciudad Juarez, Mexico
And here’s the liveblog!
