Title of Proposal
The Human Rights and Gender Implications of Slavery: the Power of Local actions to Shape Public Discourse
Overview
Melissa Upreti’s presentation will discuss the accountability of public and private actors embedded in local communities for human rights violations associated with slavery-like practices. Using child marriage as an example, the presentation will focus on how slavery-like practices are shaped by discriminatory gender stereotypes and continue with impunity. Contemporary forms of slavery are sustained by structural discrimination linked to poverty, racism, and gender discrimination. The presentation will highlight strategies that have been used by activists to tackle these drivers of slavery and advance social justice by linking local activism to the global human rights discourse.
