Description

Across the world, social movements are confronting powerful actors and systems of injustice that shape people’s rights, livelihoods, and democratic participation. In many contexts, activists combine grassroots organizing with legal strategies, including strategic litigation, to challenge power and defend their rights. This shows how the law can become both a tool and a terrain of contestation within broader movements for social change.

This event brings together voices from the Global South and the Global North to explore how communities and legal advocates confront power, both within and beyond formal legal systems.

This event is organized in partnership with INSPIRA and the Conflict Research Group.
