TRANSFORMING JUSTICE: Advancing Gender Equality Through Legal Action

28 July – 1 August 2025 | Outside Tbilisi, Georgia

The Council of Europe, in partnership with Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani University, invites students who, at the time of application, are in the final year of their Bachelor's or Master's degree in legal studies in Georgia to apply for the 2025 Summer School: Transforming Justice. This five-day programme is designed to strengthen the capacity of future legal professionals to advance gender equality and combat violence against women and domestic violence through the legal system.

Participants will explore key legal standards—especially the Istanbul Convention—alongside landmark case law, emerging challenges such as technology-facilitated violence, SLAPP cases, and intersectional vulnerabilities. The programme includes expert-led sessions, practical exercises, a moot court, and post-training opportunities.

Deadline for applications: 16 June 2025, 23:59 (Tbilisi time)
Apply via email to: Genderequality.georgia@coe.int

This initiative is part of the Council of Europe project “Reinforcing gender equality and implementing GREVIO recommendations to combat violence against women and domestic violence in Georgia”, under the Action Plan for Georgia 2024–2027.
