Gender and Human Rights Teaching

Together with the Constitutionalism Research Institute at China University of Political Science and Law, RWI has worked to strengthen gender and human rights teaching at Chinese universities. Teachers from more than sixty different universities participated in gender and human rights teaching capacity training organized between 2017 and 2022, many of whom are now teaching the topic at their respective universities.

Anti-Discrimination Research and Policy Input

In 2019-2022, RWI supported an Annual Conference on Anti-discrimination Research and Human Rights Education organized by the Constitutionalism Research Institute at China University of Political Science and Law. Gathering experts representing academia, government, civil society and the media, the conference covered the latest developments of anti-discrimination research, cases and litigation in China. As a result, a network of gender and anti-discrimination researchers was established, which has provided input to policy processes and several notable cases of litigation in China.
