Women judges and legal experts have played a decisive role in the development of international law: expanding the recognition of human rights violations, bringing overlooked experiences into judicial reasoning, and helping transform the institutions responsible for delivering justice.

Now, we want to hear directly from them 🎙️.

We are excited to share that GQUAL and the International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ) are joining forces to take this conversation further through a special six-episode series of IAWJ’s Justice Beyond the Bench podcast.

The series builds on GQUAL’s Voices from the Bench report, developed with UN Women and drawing on interviews with 23 women who have helped shape international justice.

Across six conversations with distinguished women judges, and international legal experts from different regions, the series will explore their contributions to international law, the challenges they have confronted, and their visions for the future of justice.

🌍 In English and Spanish, their stories will take us across countries, institutions and perspectives on why who shapes international justice matters.
