This seminar will reflect on the exclusion of women and gender from dominant approaches to dealing with the past in the north. It will discuss a specific intervention to remedy these absences and silences, namely the development of Gender Principles for Dealing with the Legacy of the Past by a network of women drawn from academia, the human rights and victims sectors. The seminar will further reflect on the opportunity to address gender more broadly in any process to deal with the past, in particular the inclusion of LGBTQ experiences and perspectives. The seminar reflects on some of the reasons why these perspectives have been so absent from the primary debate, and considers possible strategies and approaches for devising a more gender-inclusive process.

Speakers: Claire Hackett, Healing Through Remembering & Falls Community Council and Catherine O'Rourke, TJI

RSVP essential to receive the live stream link which will be sent 48 hours before the seminar.
