On 24 April 2024, LAW and the Permanent Mission of Australia to the United Nations facilitated a Gender Justice Practitioner Hub roundtable in Geneva, Switzerland. 30 representatives from civil society, member states and key UN mechanisms, commissions of inquiry and fact-finding bodies joined to hear feedback from previous roundtables and provide input on the Hub initiative.
Recognising the growing threat to movements seeking gender justice, participants underscored the need for a space for practitioners to safely come together, coordinate and collaborate, echoing a clear finding from previous roundtables. The role of a future Hub as a central repository was also considered. Roundtable participants highlighted the need for precedent, policy and best practice to be curated and made accessible for a wide range of practitioners.
