March 5, 2025 – In honor of International Women’s Day, the Kovler Project Against Torture, a program of the Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Law hosted the conference “Women, Torture, and the Law: International Human Rights Responses” - a compelling event that examined the intersection of gender, torture, and international human rights law. The event featured two thought-provoking panels – “Hostage-Taking, Torture, and Women: Perspectives Under International Law” and “Torture and Detention in Latin American: Challenges and Responses of International Human Rights Law.” These panels explored the unique challenges women face in the context of torture and the legal frameworks designed to address these human rights violations.
