Dusting off the Law Books on Gender Persecution: Element Two, Targeted Groups (July 14, 2023)

Public International Law & Policy Group (PILPG) Expert Roundtable

Experts examine groups targeted with gender persecution under element two of the Rome Statute. Speakers also explore how gender criteria imposed by perpetrators are used to regulate every aspect of life, determining the extent of individuals’ freedom of movement, their reproductive options, who they can marry, where they can work, how they can dress, and whether they are simply allowed to exist. Speakers include: Victor Madrigal, UN Special Rapportuer on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, Patricia Sellers, ICC Special Adviser on Slavery Crimes, and Professor Valerie Oosterveld.
