From Margins to Center: Women’s Justice in Fragile Times
When justice systems are under pressure, women are often the most affected—but also key to building more resilient and inclusive solutions. This inaugural panel of Justice Matters 2026 puts women at the centre of justice reform.
Event Details
- Date: Wednesday 6 May 2026
- Time: 17:30 – 18:45 (walk-in from 17:00)
- Location: Amare, The Hague
- Organisers: The Hague Humanity Hub & The Hague Institute for Innovation of Law (HiiL)
About the Event
In times of crisis and conflict, women face disproportionate barriers to justice. Yet their leadership, experiences, and perspectives are essential to building fair, inclusive, and sustainable justice systems.
This inaugural panel explores how women’s voices can move from the margins to the centre of decision-making. Through expert dialogue, the session will examine how gender-responsive justice approaches can address inequality, strengthen institutions, and contribute to long-term peace and stability.
What We’ll Discuss
- How women experience injustice in fragile and conflict-affected contexts
- Practical examples of gender-sensitive justice responses
- What justice systems look like when women are co-creators, not just beneficiaries
- How investing in women’s access to justice supports lasting peace
Speakers
- Marielle Vavier, Deputy Mayor of The Hague and Alderman for Poverty, Inclusion, Public Health and International Affairs, The Hague
- Sara Hossain — Chair, Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran & Honorary Executive Director, BLAST
- Helen Duffy – International Lawyer (Human Rights in Practice) and Professor of Human Rights & Humanitarian Law (Grotius Center for International Legal Studies, Leiden University).
- Moderator: Ijeoma Nwafor — Country Representative Nigeria, HiiL
