Gender Mentoring Training Programme for Judges of International Criminal Courts. In November 2020, African Legal Aid (AFLA) launched its project on Gender Mentoring Training Programme for Judges of International Criminal Courts. The project aims to enhance the capacity of female and male judges of the ICC and other international criminal courts to deliver gender-sensitive and inclusive justice. Acknowledging the impact of gender and diversity in decision-making is an essential prerequisite to ensuring equal protection of the law to all – a core commitment of the ICC. Judgments of the ICC have been criticised academically in the past for not recognising the effects of gender and the intersectionality between gender, race and gender identity. It is this need for a deeper understanding of gender that prompted Africa Legal Aid to develop a gender-sensitive training programme for judges. Reports can be found here – (English only).
