Report launch: State-sanctioned killing of women

Description

I presented findings of the chapter I co-authored for this report on the report launch webinar.

Eleos Justice and the Cornell Center on the Death Penalty Worldwide for the launched a new report on the state-sanctioned killing of women.

Report synopsis: Around the world, States are complicit in the killing of women. While women constitute a minority of the global death row population, the gendered impacts of the death penalty are manifold: some capital laws discriminate against or disproportionately affect women, and women endure unique experiences on death row. Some States also use the death penalty in the name of “protecting” women (against sexual violence, for example). In other instances, States condone, excuse, and ignore the killing of women by non-State actors.
