The October 7 attack epitomizes the difficulties of prosecuting conflict related sexual violence (CRSV), considering the lack of survivors who are able to provide testimony, and the lack of primary physical forensic evidence.
Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, an expert on family law and international women’s rights, will present The Dinah Project’s book, “A Quest for Justice – October 7 and Beyond,” which provides a comprehensive assessment of sexual violence during the October 7 attack and in captivity, develops a pioneering structured evidentiary framework, and creates a legal framework for joint criminal responsibility in mass atrocities.
Professor Halperin-Kaddari is the founding director of the Rackman Center for the Advancement of the Status of Women at Bar-Ilan University Law Faculty in Israel, where she serves as a full professor. In December 2018, she completed three terms on the U.N. Committee on Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), on which she served twice as vice-chair of the committee and as the first chair of the Working Group on Inquiries. A graduate of Yale Law School, she is a renowned speaker in academic as well as professional forums and has published extensively.
