WD2026 | Building the Vision: Feminist Pathways to a Crimes Against Humanity Treaty

wdff

 

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.

📅 Wednesday 29 April · 9.30–11.00am | Room 208

🌍 Women Deliver 2026, Narrm (Melbourne)
 

Session goals

  • Raise awareness about the Crimes Against Humanity Treaty process and its implications for gender equality and feminist justice.
  • Bridge global advocates, grassroots leaders, and legal experts to co-design feminist treaty priorities.
  • Co-create a Feminist Accountability Roadmap linking feminist principles to policy change.
  • Seed an intersectional feminist caucus to sustain collaboration and treaty advocacy after the conference.
