In this panel discussion, hosted at Duke University on March 22, 2017, the research "Tightening the Purse Strings: What Countering Terrorism Financing Costs Gender Equality and Security" was presented. This research represents the culmination of research, interviews, surveys, and statistical analysis carried out by the International Human Rights Clinic at Duke Law and the Women Peacemakers Program to begin to fill the gap in understanding how responses to terrorism and violent extremism may in practice squeeze women's rights and their defenders between terror and counter-terror.
Panelists include Isabelle Geuskens, Executive Director of WPP, and Duke Law's Jayne Huckerby and Sarah Adamczyk. This event was co-sponsored by the International Human Rights Clinic, the Center for International and Comparative Law, Duke Human Rights Center at the Kenan Institute for Ethics, Duke Human Rights Center at the Franklin Humanities Institute, International Law Society, and the Human Rights Law Society.
