The Conference will explore the current status of women and highlights the role of judges, lawyers, human rights experts and policy advocates to improve the status of women and girls by enforcing their legal rights and improving their economic opportunities to support themselves and their families. United Nations’ initiatives to: improve the status of women; address global human and reproductive rights concerns and abuses, particularly bodily autonomy limitations, physical torture, sexual violence, kidnapping and incarceration of women and girls; discuss innovative approaches to improving the lives of women through the rule of law and government policy; celebrate efforts to elevate women judges and lawyers in fostering greater diversity within the judiciary; as well as addressing the disparate, adverse impact of technology and climate change on women and girls will also be discussed. 

The Conference celebrates the role of legal societies, such as bar associations and other legal professional organizations and international NGOs in aiding women.
