Our panel will explore the impact of strategic lit­i­gation on the development of fundamental rights and public security. Ulf Buermeyer co-founded the Berlin-based NGO Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte (GFF, Society for Civil Rights) in 2015 and has since served as its Director and Board Member. The GFF aims to defend fundamental and human rights through strategic lit­i­gation. Having argued and won several landmark cases before various courts, including the German Constitutional Court, the GFF has grown into a vital institution of German civil society and has made significant contributions to the doctrinal development of fundamental rights and security law.

This event will feature a short lecture by Professor Joanna Bourke, who will explore rape as a historical phe­nom­e­non, examining how its understanding has evolved over time and across different cultural and social envi­ron­ments. She will discuss how history can help us comprehend the roots of sexual violence today and reflect on broader societal constructions of will, consent, and agency. Her analysis critically examines the binary victim-perpetrator framework while addressing intersectional factors that shape experiences of sexual violence. [mehr]
