A once-in-a-generation Crimes Against Humanity convention is on the table. Join us for a 90-minute participatory session where Women Deliver delegates will co-author an intersectional feminist agenda for the treaty negotiations — moving the process from technical negotiations into the hands of survivors, Indigenous peoples, gender-diverse communities, and feminist advocates.

Launching the Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Myanmar’s conference room paper outlining pathways to accountability for grave human rights violations in Myanmar.

This town hall event features feminist experts, activists, and movements in the upcoming effort to ensure the crimes against humanity treaty is gender-sensitive, intersectional, and survivor-centered.

This CSW70 side event focused on the implementation of the Women, Peace, and Security agenda in Myanmar and pathways for achieving justice for victims.

This CSW70 side event will be a detailed look for civil society at the landmark Crimes Against Humanity treaty effort. Participants will discuss opportunities to engage with the treaty, with particular attention to advancing gender justice.

Side event about women's and girl's access to legal systems and justice in Myanmar in 2026 post sham election.

This CSW70 side event will discuss reproductive violence, a distinct and often overlooked form of gender-based violence. Survivors of reproductive violence have a right to justice. This panel will also explore efforts to document and advance accountability for reproductive violence, including in Afghanistan, Gaza, Myanmar, and Peru.

As the International Court of Justice (ICJ) convened merits hearings in the historic case of The Gambia v. Myanmar, this event provided an opportunity for reflection upon the significance and potential impact of progress in the case. The event highlighted voices of the Rohingya community and provided insight into the case’s meaning for international justice as well as the current, dire context for Rohingya in Myanmar and in the refugee camps in Bangladesh.

This event also underscored the need for gender-sensitive justice and accountability for Rohingya women and girls, who have faced specific and disproportionate harms during and in the aftermath of the Myanmar military’s atrocities against the Rohingya in 2016 and 2017. As the ICJ hearings proceed, it is critical to center the views and perspectives, as well as the diverse experiences of and impact on the Rohingya community. Governments that are intervening in the case also had an opportunity to offer remarks about the case’s significance.
