International Law

This video is a compilation of footage from the NGO Forum of the landmark 1995 World Conference on Women in Beijing, China, taken by FemCom Bangladesh, a Bangladeshi women's rights organization.

This session examines the terms "equity" and "equality." Specifically, what they signify in international law, how they may relate to women's access to education, jobs, property, and other benefits of citizenship, and what potential ramifications are when equitable rights are pursued over equal rights.

This session explores what rights women have to advocate for human rights, reviews relevant international laws, and considers the connection of human rights that protect all people and the rights of human rights defenders.
