SUMMARY:VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS: IS THE LAW DOING ENOUGH?
DESCRIPTION:In conversation with Honourable Justice Fiona Mwale of the High Court of Malawi & Honourable Justice Monica Mbaru of the High Court of Kenya Gender-based violence (GBV) remains one of the most widespread human rights violations globally. According to a report from the United Nations (UN) in 2023\, a woman is killed by a partner or family member every 10 minutes. International and regional frameworks have been put in place to combat GBV\, with the expectation of adoption and implementation at national level through law and policy. However\, despite the existence of progressive laws and policies at national level within the region\, violence continues to persist. This situation highlights significant gaps in addressing the root causes of GBV\, implementation challenges\, and enforcement difficulties. Join us for a webinar in conversation with Honourable Justice Fiona Mwale of the High Court of Malawi and Honourable Justice Monica Mbaru of the High Court of Kenya in unpacking the important role of the courts in using the law to address GBV. This webinar seeks to examine international and regional legal frameworks and the efficacy of their implementation at the national level within Eastern and Southern Africa and explore opportunities for practical legal and implementation reforms to strengthen protection against GBV.
