Women's Human Rights: Building a Peaceful World in an Era of Globalization

The Institute brings feminist perspectives and an activist orientation to the inextricably related issues of peace, human rights and life-sustaining development. Participants will gain an understanding of the global economic, ecological, legal, cultural and political contexts of this work, as well as of the groundbreaking work that is currently being done and has been done over decades by women and men around the world. Classes will normally be held from 10 am to 6 pm five days a week, with some periods for private study. Unless otherwise specified, Alda Facio will lead the sessions.
