What can the law do for women? Join International Women’s Week!
26 February 2026
How can the law help combat femicide? How can the rights of sex workers be better protected against human trafficking? How can women be safeguarded from deepfake pornography?
These and other questions will be at the heart of International Women’s Week at the Faculty of Law, from 6 to 12 March 2026. During this week, we offer an interdisciplinary program exploring a wide range of themes at the intersection of feminism and the law. The programme is open to everyone: students, staff, and anyone interested from outside the Faculty are warmly invited to participate.
