Women activists propose a new definition of "gender apartheid" for inclusion in an upcoming UN treaty on crimes against humanity.
Women activists are urging the UN to include a new definition of "gender apartheid" in an upcoming treaty on crimes against humanity. This definition, inspired by racial apartheid, could provide relief and recourse for victims of gender-based oppression, leading to a more unified global response. If successful, codifying gender apartheid under international law could offer significant protection for women and girls worldwide.
