Why you should attend?
Violence against women has to be understood in the backdrop of socio-economic and institutional factors prevalent in our society to address it effectively.

This multidisciplinary approach is what has been missing from the discourse in the legal fraternity and it is time that lawyers in general and women and women in law are given the chance to look at this issue in its broader context. By teaming up with UN Women Pakistan and some of the most distinguished development sector researchers and lawyers, this conference aims to bring depth to the subject.

In addition to that, it raises important questions and highlights the progress made in relation to access to justice for survivors of such violence thereby not only creating awareness, but also focusing on need to handle these cases with the sensitivity that is required to promote access to the justice system. It’s global outreach makes this a truly important platform for having their voices heard.
