A group of 50 women from around the world–including international law experts and women’s rights activists from countries with armed conflict–came together in Mexico April 20-21 for the first time-ever to identify the key elements of a global strategy for strengthening justice for women.

“We are here to give voice to the desire for justice and the need for accountability for countless acts of violence against women around the world,” said Brigid Inder, the Executive Director of the Women’s Initiative for Gender Justice.  “There will be no lasting peace until women have justice–and no longer have to suffer from rape and other gender-based crimes sanctioned by leaders of their own countries.”
