Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law, and Development (APWLD) and the Public Foundation Development of Civil Society is inviting applications for the 1st Central Asia Sub-Regional Feminist Legal Theory and Practice (FLTP) Training, which will be held from 4-9 November 2018 in Almaty, Kazakhstan. This year, the Sub-Regional FLTP will focus on building the capacity of judges, lawyers, activists, paralegals, prosecutors, caseworkers, para-legal volunteers, academicians, media persons, writers, poets and women human rights defenders, on feminism and law that is relevant to human rights, law and development work in Central Asia.
The FLTP training has been one of the core capacity building activities of APWLD that has now grown into a dynamic program that offers a unique model in the region. The FLTP as a training programme has been running for more than two decades and has over 600 FLTP Grads in at least 18 countries in the Asia Pacific. It enables participants to use feminist analysis and perspectives in legal practice and activism and is premised on the tenets of participatory training where group work is included.
The FLTP framework has feminism as its core and human rights as its foundation. The training seeks to challenge the traditional notion that law is a neutral, objective and rational set of rules, unaffected by the perspective of those who wield power in societies. Participants are enjoined to appreciate and analyze the social, cultural and political contexts that shape the legal system. Understanding that law (as a culture, system and as an institution) is a reality that women face and engage with; it is essential for women's rights activists to explore how the law can be utilized to transform women's lives.
During the course, participants apply the principles to a particular law, policy or practice within their different country and issue context, that impede on the women's human rights and are encouraged to develop strategies and to challenge these practices.
The specific objectives of the training are:
The training will focus on the following themes: women's lives and realities; feminism and women's movement; structural and systemic forces of oppression, feminist engagement with the law, Globalisation, Fundamentalism and Militarism and Patriarchy; women, human rights and developments in international law; and strategies for feminist legal theory and practice.
This training will create a pool of Central Asia FLTP graduates (FLTP Grads) who will use the FLTP framework as part of the movement to support substantive legal change that upholds women's human rights.
