Workshop Report published: Reparations, Development and Gender
In December 2010, the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), now a part of UN Women, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) co-hosted an international workshop on Reparations, Development and Gender in Kampala, Uganda. The workshop was a part of their joint Global Programme on Women’s Access to Justice Post-Conflict. The purpose of the meeting was to explore the relationship between reparations and development with the aim of contributing to a discussion on the role of UN agencies in the design and implementation of gender-just reparations for victims of gross human rights violations as well as to explore the way in which development and development practitioners can contribute to strengthening victims’ rights to comprehensive reparations.
