About Us
The Women & International Law Program (WILP) supports the work of legal scholars, women's rights advocates and law students around the world seeking to integrate fully women's human rights into legal education, practice and doctrine.
Through workshops, trainings, and educational programs, WILP collaborates with women's rights advocates and scholars around the world to reform the law, legal education, and legal institutions to further women's rights and fosters analysis of the relationship of gender to the operation of law and legal institutions. WILP is currently collaborating on gender and legal education initiatives in India and Latin America.
WILP also works with WCL students to enhance their studies of gender and the law, sponsors gender-related programming at the law school, and works closely with the LL.M International Legal Studies Program: Specialization in Gender & the Law, one of the only such programs in the world.
