The Global backlash against women’s rights
Presented at: Keynote Speech delivered at Bergen Exchanges 2021

This keynote and roundtable explore how these dynamics play out across different contexts, the drivers behind them, and the implications.

Moderators: Malcolm Langford (Professor of Law, Univ, of Oslo and LawTransform co-director) and Lise Rakner (Professor of Political Science, UiB)
