The Women's Rights Working Group invites you to participate in a dialogue with the United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Ms. Reem Al Salem.


The webinar will discuss her recent report, which constitutes a critique of the prevailing global feminist discourse, entitled:


"Gender-based violence against women and girls: New horizons and emerging issues."


The meeting offers an analytical reading that goes beyond traditional gender discourse and opens a discussion on ways to develop more liberated discourse and practices that are more appropriate to local contexts.
