Reclaiming Feminist Justice Reclaiming Feminist Justice ============================= Reclaiming Feminist Justice is a CIVIS Student-Led Project (2025–2026) dedicated to commemorating and critically reassessing the legacy of the 1976 International Tribunal on Crimes Against Women, held in Brussels. Conceived as a transnational academic and activist initiative, the project combines exhibitions, study days, conferences, and cultural events across Italy, Switzerland, and Belgium. In March 1976, thousands of women from over forty countries gathered in Brussels for a symbolic yet historically transformative tribunal, co-organised by Diana E. H. Russell and Nicole Van den Ven. Though lacking formal legal authority, the Tribunal publicly exposed systemic violence against women—sexual violence, domestic abuse, genital mutilation, reproductive exploitation, incarceration, and trafficking—laying the foundations for a radical, transnational feminist approach to justice and collective memory. Fifty years later, this Student-Led Project reactivates that legacy through critical dialogue, interdisciplinary scholarship, artistic expression, and public engagement, with a particular focus on the Brussels commemorative events of March 2026. Who We Are: Meet the Team -------------------------- The project is coordinated by **Milène Le Goff**, PhD candidate at the Université libre de Bruxelles and the University of Lille. A specialist in the history of the 1976 Tribunal, her research explores feminist justice, memory, and transnational activism. For the Antwerp programme, coordination expanded in collaboration with the feminist collective **Madam Fortuna**, strengthening the bridge between academic inquiry and activist practice. The Brussels events are organised in partnership with the **RIFI Collective**, a Brussels-based feminist organisation committed to making feminist scholarship accessible to both academic audiences and the wider public. Earlier in the programme cycle, the project **opened in January 2026 at Sapienza Università di Roma**, where discussions revisited the Tribunal’s origins and international networks. It **continued on 27 February at University of Lausanne**, where a study day fostered interdisciplinary reflection on feminist justice and historical memory. Both events successfully brought together students, researchers, and activists in dialogue. Brussels 2026 Events: A Living Legacy -------------------------------------- The Belgian sequence constitutes the intellectual and symbolic heart of the commemoration. ### Exhibition & Book Presentation - **5 March 2026 – 23 March 2026** - **Coin Culture, ULB – Brussels (on-site)** The Brussels program will open with: - **A presentation of a book** dedicated to the history of the Tribunal, in the presence of its author. - The **inauguration of a photographic exhibition** retracing the Tribunal’s archives, protagonists, and global circulations. The exhibition offers a powerful visual and documentary immersion into feminist history, reconnecting past testimonies with contemporary struggles. ### International Study Day - **25 March 2026 | 9:00–18:00 CET** - **Learning and Innovation Center (LIC), Boulevard de la Plaine 2, Brussels** - **Hybrid format** (on-site + online, mandatory registration) - **Languages:** French / English This interdisciplinary study day will create a space for critical reflection on the Tribunal’s legacy and its contemporary resonance. Through thematic panels, scholars, activists, and students will examine feminist speech, mobilisation, resistance, and alternative conceptions of justice in response to systemic gender-based violence. The event aims to foster dialogue between the academic community and the broader public, encouraging a renewed understanding of gender inequalities and their evolution since 1976. Recordings will be made accessible, and a collective publication is planned as a tangible outcome of the discussions. ### Closing Film Screening - **13 April 2026 | 18:00 CET** - **Coin Culture, ULB – Brussels** The project will conclude with a screening of *Bandes d'hystériques*, directed by Kita Bauchet, exploring Belgian feminist movements of the 1970s. The screening will be followed by a public debate with the director, offering a final collective moment of reflection and celebration. Main Audience & Participation ---------------------------------- The project primarily addresses **undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students** interested in feminist studies, peace studies, gender justice, and social activism. It is equally open to **scholars, activists, practitioners, and members of the broader public** who wish to engage with feminist histories and contemporary debates. All events are designed to remain accessible and dialogical, ensuring that complex issues are discussed in inclusive and comprehensible ways. Motivation & Social Impact ------------------------------- Marking the 50th anniversary of the 1976 Tribunal is not merely an act of remembrance—it is a political and intellectual intervention. By revisiting this foundational feminist moment, the project seeks to: - Reaffirm the centrality of women’s testimonies in shaping justice. - Bridge generations of feminist activism. - Stimulate interdisciplinary research and public debate. - Provide students with critical tools to understand and challenge systemic gender-based violence. Reclaiming Feminist Justice transforms commemoration into action—reopening archives, amplifying voices, and reimagining feminist justice for the decades to come. > We are organizing this event to draw attention to feminist and gender justice issues on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the International Tribunal on Crimes Against Women in Brussels. This milestone offers an important opportunity to revisit its legacy, reflect on its relevance today, and foster dialogue between scholars, activists, and students committed to advancing feminist justice Lasting impact ---------------- Participants gain historical insight, contemporary analytical perspectives, and direct engagement with scholars and activists working on feminist justice today. Through hybrid accessibility and planned publication outputs, the project ensures lasting impact beyond the commemorative year.
