At this event, Prof. Jonathan Herring will present his paper 'A Right to a Male Curfew' published in the International Journal of Gender, Sexuality and Law.
Abstract
This article explores the case for a right to a male curfew. It argues the epidemic of male violence and harassment against women in public spaces is a major breach of women’s human rights. This generates an obligation on the state to protect women. The article substantiates that claim and explains why a male curfew would be a reasonable way for the state to fulfil its obligations and is therefore required unless an alternative can be found.
