Programma
he course investigates how gender reacts in a wide range of topics and contexts, in order to draw the state of women's and Lgbti's human rights and to assess the origins of their violations along with possible remedies.
At the end of the course, students should be capable of analyse a problematic case and give a remedy assuming a point of view of an advocate or a judge.
The course maintains a strong link with second semester course, Women Empowerment (Professor Stefania Leone and Professor Costanza Nardocci) whose program allows an integrated approach to issues pertaining to women's rights. Joined attendance to both courses is encouraged.
Analytical Program:
At first the course will explore the theoretical underpinnings of constitutional women's and Lgbti's human rights and will provide a foundation on the legal instruments pertaining to such rights, assured by constitutional law, European Union law and the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
With this legal ground, the course will examine a variety of cases also through a comparison with other relevant legal orders.

The duration is more or less 30 minutes and comprehends questions put by the teacher and by the other students. The teacher will evaluate the capacity to focus on the problems and make a critical analysis of the remedies with a technical language. Students will be evaluated with a grade out of 30. The grade will be communicated in the first class after the presentation.
b) a written test, where students will be required to explain problems underlying a case law and doctrine on a theme among those explained during the course and put in relation the strengths and weaknesses of the solution given by judges and/or scholars, and then to explain their own point of view. The teacher will evaluate the capacity to focus on the problems and make a critical analysis of the remedies with a technical language. The written test will take place in class at the beginning of December and have a maximum length of 90 minutes. Students will be evaluated with a grade out of 30.

During the course, in order to properly prepare for such a discussion, students will be provided with additional study material and case-law that will be regularly uploaded and updated on the Ariel Platform. The students will be evaluated with a grade and the duration is from the beginning of the course ongoing.
