Though it can’t be emphasized enough how far we have come as a society, long-standing gender asymmetries and their manifestations in common parlance still painfully and eminently exist.
Last week, Kansas lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to pass a law defending biological sex, overriding a veto from Gov. Laura Kelly (D-KS). Naturally, the law has gender ideologues in a panic. The Human Rights Campaign issued a statement accusing Republicans of intentionally endangering the lives of “transgender” youth, and activists pretending to be journalists at the Kansas City Star derided the Independent Women’s Forum, an organization of which I am a part, as a “national anti-trans group” because we dared to support it.
The purpose of this conference is to identify key sources of power with potential to drive gender representation in directorship and leadership positions.
The Centre for Human Rights, Gender and Social Inclusion works with a vision to promote an environment of enriching legal scholarship on human rights, gender studies and social inclusiveness.
