The Gender Justice Workshop grows out of the work of the University of Arizona College of Law’s Domestic Violence Law Clinic (DV Law Clinic), which has represented survivors of intimate partner violence in family and protection order cases as well as partnered with local and national organizations in systemic change work to improve the landscape for survivors.
The Gender Justice Workshop expands this systemic change work to address a broader range of issues related to gender justice, including reproductive justice and health, the intersection between climate change and gender justice, and gender justice in land governance.
The Gender Justice Workshop’s mission is to actualize a world where everyone enjoys empowerment, equality, and equity, regardless of their gender, gender expression, or sexual orientation, in all spheres of life. The Workshop seeks to accomplish this goal in two ways: First, by partnering with international and grassroots organizations to provide research and advocacy to influence decision-makers and promote policies centered on gender justice. And second, by providing transformative experiential learning opportunities to train and prepare students to engage with contemporary issues in law and policy pertaining to gender justice in their future careers.
