**Description**

The 2024 GenDJus Workshop "Gender Stereotyping in International Human Rights Law and Discourse" welcomes participants to explore the complex impact of stereotypes, prejudices, and biases on international and EU law, especially in judicial reasoning and discourse, through engaging presentations by expert speakers. This workshop is part of the PRIN-PNRR “Rights and Prejudice” research project (GenDJus), funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research and the EU under the NextGeneration EU initiative. It is organized by the Department of Political and Social Science at the University of Bologna and co-hosted by the Forlì Human Rights Interdisciplinary Centre.


The 2024 workshop will seek to explore the subtle forms of discrimination embedded in legal discourse and practice in international and EU law, with a particular focus on – but not limited to – gender-based stereotypes, prejudices and biases and the connected impact in terms of protection for sexual, reproductive, and parental rights of specific gendered groups. The Workshop aims to explore innovative methodologies to recognise how these attitudes shape the decisions of international and EU-based judicial bodies in order to better understand how they can be eliminated or, at least, reduced so as to avoid a negative impact on the universal enjoyment of protected rights.
