Women\u2019s Initiative for Gender Justice<\/a> in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the International Criminal Court (ICC), honors many of those who have contributed to the field of international gender justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cI really am humbled,\u201d Enloe says. \u201cI certainly am a minor figure here. So many women who are chosen have risked so much over decades to ensure that women\u2019s rights are internationally recognized and that violators of women\u2019s rights are held accountable and perpetrators are brought to justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Brigid Inder, OBE, outgoing executive director of Women\u2019s Initiatives for Gender Justice, \u201cThose selected for the launch of the Legacy Wall are emblematic of the fields which have contributed to gender justice. The Legacy Wall is intended to be a living legacy with more names to be added at future significant anniversaries of the Rome Statute, as the gender justice field continues to evolve, as others are recognized and as future generations join and contribute to this endeavor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with Enloe, inaugural honorees include U.S. attorney and Brandeis University Professor Anita Hill, who, during Supreme Court nominee hearings for her boss, Clarence Thomas, came forward with claims of sexual harassment; Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg; and the Coalition on Violence Against Women. The actual Legacy Wall will be constructed in The Hague and ultimately installed within the ICC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCivil society actors, academics and practitioners were consulted in the process of developing the inaugural list of honorees,\u201d Inder says, with the board of Women\u2019s Initiatives for Gender Justice selecting the final set of honorees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe work is certainly not done,\u201d Enloe says, noting that the U.S. Senate and current White House administration have not publicly considered and ratified the Rome Statute, the international treaty that created the ICC as the first permanent war crimes tribunal. \u201cThis puts the U.S. among a mere handful of outlier countries which do not recognize the ICC,\u201d she adds. \u201cOur country still stands on the sidelines. However, virtually all the people recognized on this Legacy Wall have taken action when their governments have been (or are today) passive or complicit.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
