Stephanie Barbour is an international criminal investigator, analyst, and legal adviser with various experiences in domestic, hybrid, and international criminal justice initiatives, specializing in accountability for serious crimes under international law. Her expertise lies in design and delivery of capacity-building and mentoring programmes for national actors and building successful private criminal investigations, particularly in relation to the collection and analysis of sexual and gender-based crimes. She has served as the Head of the Amnesty International Centre for International Justice in The Hague, where she was the representative and liaison to international justice institutions such as the International Criminal Court. Her work has focused primarily on Rwanda, the Balkans, Nepal, Syria, Iraq, and the Central African Republic, having worked directly in many of these post-conflict states, including serving as a legal advisor for TRIAL in Nepel and the Organization for Security and Cooperation to Bosnia and Herzegovina. She continues to consult, lecture, and publish on a range of international criminal law and human rights topics.

We're excited to introduce our first panelist presenting on the topic of conflict-related sexual violence, Heather Tasker!

Heather Tasker is a PhD Candidate in Socio-Legal Studies at York University. Her research interests are in the areas of feminist security and legal studies, transitional justice, and legal pluralism, focusing on gendered violence in post/conflict contexts. Heather’s dissertation research centres on community attitudes toward and engagement with legal, rights-based, and policy approaches to addressing sexual exploitation and abuse committed by peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of Congo. She has also conducted research on senses of harm and wrongdoing for survivors of conflict-related forced marriage, engaged in survey research with community-based justice workers on the needs and priorities of SGBV survivors, and has translated research findings on children born of war into a policy brief for Global Affairs Canada as part of the Conjugal Slavery in War partnership project.
