DESCRIPTION:With Johanna Nelles\, O’Brien Fellow in Residence and Executive
  Secretary to the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating
  Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (on temporary leave) \n\nAbo
 ut\n\nIn 2014\, the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combati
 ng Violence against Women and Domestic Violence came into force. Known as 
 the Istanbul Convention after the place it opened for signature\, this tre
 aty fills a gap in the protection of women and girls from gender-based vio
 lence in Europe. It contains many innovative obligations in the area of pr
 evention\, protection and prosecution of all acts of violence against wome
 n and asks governments to embed these in a comprehensive policy framework.
  In this talk\, Johanna Nelles will explain why this treaty is a gamechang
 er in addressing violence against women\, how it is framed as a tool to ad
 vance women’s rights and equality that is open to governments around the w
 orld to ratify\, and how law and practice is beginning to innovate as a re
 sult - shedding light also on the shared challenges in implementation and 
 the resistance the Istanbul Convention is facing.  \n
