OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In 2015, the world committed itself to an ambitious fifteen year programme to eradicate poverty in all its forms and dimensions. Gender equality is a key aspiration, both as a self-standing goal and as an aspect of several other goals. In a crucial step forward, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) make an explicit commitment to protect human rights. The relationship between binding human rights and the SDG agenda, however, remains contentious and underdeveloped. This presentation asks how best the human rights commitment to gender equality can be harnessed to achieve gender equality as a development goal and simultaneously, how the SDGs can be harnessed to advance the fulfilment of gender equality as a human rights guarantee.
