RSVP to rcantor@hsph.harvard.edu.

Please join us as we examine litigation on sexual and reproductive rights before international courts and tribunals by both progressive and conservative movements. The conference will explore the forces and dynamics at play resulting in these cases, the functioning of international adjudication, as well as diverse effects of litigation, for the litigants, social policy, politics and public opinion; and the consequences for the adjudicating bodies themselves and their legitimacy.

The conference is organized with Harvard University’s FXB Center on Health and Human Rights, the Harvard Law School Human Rights Program, the University of Oslo, and the Comparative Sexual and Reproductive Rights Lawfare project at the Centre of Law and Social Transformation, University of Bergen and Chr. Michelsen Institute.
