DESCRIPTION:It is with deep regret that in light of the current coronavirus
  pandemic\, the conference has been cancelled. With such a gathering posin
 g a serious risk of disease spreading and with many panelists having to dr
 op out due to travel restrictions\, the conference cannot go ahead.\n\n\nS
 cholars\, experts\, and activists will discuss the role of gender in genoc
 ide and what it means for compliance with the Genocide Convention.\n\nDesp
 ite a greater emphasis on sexual violence and gender-specific crimes in re
 cent international justice efforts\, genocide continues to be understood a
 s being committed primarily through mass murder. Discussions around surfac
 ing gender furthermore retain a limited focus on women and girls as victim
 s of sexual violence\, rather than considering the wider significance of g
 ender to the destruction of groups.\n\nThis conference\, featuring leading
  scholars and practitioners\, draws on these recent efforts to reflect on 
 a gendered understanding of the crime of genocide. It focuses in particula
 r on the inextricable role that gender plays in genocide\, and the relevan
 ce of this understanding in the fulfillment by States of their obligations
  of prevention and punishment under the Genocide Convention.\n\nFriday\, M
