Session slides - Cristina’s Presentation
Nicole’s Presentation

It has taken very many years to include women’s experiences of violence in work against torture and to think of torture as an appropriate term for women’s experiences of violence. In recent years there has been progress on both fronts. How does thinking about connections between torture (and it’s legal regulation) strengthen our work against violence against women?

This discussion was led by Cristina Sevilla, a practicing lawyer based in the Philippines, and the OMCT (World Organisation against Torture). Our second speaker was Nicole Buerli, Senior Human Rights Advisor for Asia, OMCT.
