On 17 November at the peace&justice café, explore what gender justice means and how it can help us achieve more peaceful and just societies.
The United Nations has highlighted gender equality as “essential to achieve peaceful societies” and sustainable development. But despite decades of time and effort, at the current rate of change, it will take 136 years to close the global gender gap. While equity is more obvious in an area like education, in other sectors like politics and the economy, women are still to break the ‘glass ceiling’. In conflict and post-conflict settings, women and non-binary people are also disproportionately impacted.

For the fifth edition, we turned our focus to democracy: where it stands, where it’s going, and what can be done to preserve it. Professionals explored how changes in the landscape affect the work of the peace and justice ecosystem, networked with organisations playing a role in determining the future of democracy, and came away with new connections, insights, and goals.

where now for climate justice
peace&justice café
For the second edition on November 30, we discussed where we go now in the search for climate justice after COP26. What were the outcomes of #cop26? Did this ‘historic opportunity’ mean that we that we will be able to keep the temperature of the planet under control and limit its increase to 1.5 degrees? Are the promises that governments made on producing less carbon going to reverse the trends?

peace&justice café launch event
For the first edition on June 15, we exclusively spotlighted (Hague-based) female leaders to share their perspectives on how the(ir) world has been shifting. The recent and sustained global upheavals have uprooted societies, disrupted ways of working, and exacerbated systemic inequalities and injustices.
