After #MeToo: Feminism, Sexual violence and Criminalization

4 maj 2023 09:15 till 5 maj 2023 12:30 | Konferens

A symposium at the Faculty of Law.

The aim of this symposium is to bring together scholars, activists, and stakeholders with a shared interest in feminism, sexual violence and criminalisation post #MeToo.

While Me Too originated in Tarana Burke’s grassroots programme working with black and minoritised women and girls experiencing sexual violence, and which focussed on health, welfare and support, the intensity of the global #MeToo movement after 2017 shed unprecedented visibility on the ubiquity of sexual violence and questions of what constitutes justice.

Through networked acts of witnessing and demands for structural change, as well as much mediated high-profile criminal cases, #MeToo sparked complex and often controversial debates around victim[1]survivors’ perspectives on formal and informal justice-seeking, as well as strategies for reform spanning education, cultural change, abolitionism and criminal legal reforms.

Five years on from the 2017 revelations that led to the global movement, the symposium contributes to debates on the legacy of #MeToo, specifically focusing on carceral and anti[1]carceral feminist debates, assessments of the potential of informal and innovative justice approaches to respond to victim-survivors, and implications and effects of criminal justice systems and criminal law reform operating in the post-MeToo era.

The symposium invites us to jointly develop our knowledge and come up with new ideas for future research and collaborations.

This workshop is part of an ongoing research project funded by the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation.

Themes

The symposium is structured around four themes:

  • Theme 1: Civil society and Criminal Justice
  • Theme 2: Feminism and Criminal Justice
  • Theme 3: Sexual Violence and Procedural Justice
  • Theme 4: Networked Feminism and Practices of Digital Witnessing

In addition, there will be a roundtable discussion titled Civil Society, Feminism and Criminal Justice.
