This e-learning course provides a general introduction to the evolution of concepts of gender equality and women's rights within the international human rights system. It provides a foundational understanding of the centrality of gender equality to human rights discourse generally and how this is addressed within the UN human rights system. Participants will gain an overview of the various legal and normative developments that promote women's rights, address gendered identities and advance practical approaches to securing gender equality. Critical concepts such as intersectionality and cultural relativism will be examined as they relate to the enforcement of existing international approaches to advancing women’s rights.
Through this course, participants will deepen their knowledge about the evolution of human rights frameworks in response to gender inequality and women's empowerment. Participants will be encouraged to think critically about how the human rights system engages with the reality of gender disparities. |
