LSJ Leon - Gender and Disability in Human Rights Law and Practice

Under the motto "Leave no one behind," the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development committed the international community to ensure that all persons, including and especially those most marginalized, be included in international development. Using international human rights law and the Agenda for Sustainable Development as a lens, the LSJ Leon program will analyze what inclusion—and the implementation of rights—look like in practice.  We will focus in particular on how the rights of women and girls, including those with disabilities, older women, women in the Roma community, survivors of gender-based violence, and those without citizenship status are translated into programs and policies at local, national, regional and global levels. Our base in Leon (population ~125,000) will allow us to consider how multiple factors, such as rural or urban settings, collective mobilization, proximity to national governments, and the availability of resources can impact the realization of rights.

Through a seminar on intersectionality within human rights law, a collaborative research project, and a guest speakers' colloquium, we will explore how stakeholders engage with human rights, what issues stakeholders are focused on and why, and what impact human rights instruments have (and have not) had in the lives of women and girls, persons with disabilities, senior citizens, and others in Spain and more generally.

Students will also benefit from a truly immersive experience in small-town Spain.  Students will be required to study Spanish at the local language center and will live with host families, giving them a unique lens into life in the local community.

There will be an information session for this program on May 3, 2022 at 4PM in Smith Hall, M261.

Take care,
Josh
