Human Rights Project in collaboration with the Law Clinic
This initiative allowed a team of students to form part of an international research collaboration involving universities from six countries. This was the first initiative in an on-going collaboration with Strathclyde Law Clinic. The four-month project examined the state of Scottish legislation and policies on Violence Against Women and the impact of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). As a follow-up, we made a consultation submission in response to a call by the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences.Dissertation Award 2020
