This module will examine reducing inequalities, with a particular focus on gender equality. We will consider reducing inequalities overall under SDG 10, including ways lawyers can help clients achieve equal outcomes. Further, you will learn more about SDG 5 and how international organisations like the World Bank promote legal reform to support the achievement of SDG 5 in practice.
This session will look at how financial transactions can be structured to ensure a reduction of systemic inequalities. This will include an introduction to the Business and Human Rights framework, practical application of antimoney-laundering due diligence and overall, how lawyers can advise responsibly. We will hear from leading thinkers on gender equality in Business and the Law. Gender equality is not just a human right but also crucial for sustainable economic development, which we will explore in depth in this session.
This training event is part of A4ID’s Legal and Development Training Programme, being through six modules from May to November 2023.
