The Capacity Building, Development, and Research (CBDR) Circle is pleased to announce the launch of its Three-Day Certification Course on Gender, Technology, and Law.

As technology continues to reshape societies, legal systems, and professional spaces, critical questions arise: Are digital transformations fostering inclusion, or merely translating existing inequalities into new forms? How do law, gender, and technology intersect in an era defined by algorithms, platforms, and data-driven decision-making?

This certification course offers a timely and thought-provoking exploration of these evolving dynamics.

Participants will engage with themes including:
• Changing dimensions of law, technology, and gender
• Technology-facilitated gender-based violence
• Gendered impacts of technological advancement
• Algorithmic bias and digital inequality
• Legal frameworks
• Gender-sensitive and survivor-centric approaches

Designed as a space for academic dialogue, practical learning, and cohort-based engagement, the program combines critical debates with interactive activities and applied insights.

While conversations on law and technology are expanding, gender-responsive analysis and legal tools remain underexplored.

This course seeks to bridge that gap by foregrounding inclusion, diversity, and rights-based perspectives within digital discourse.

📍 Format: Hybrid
• In-person sessions (3 days) in Islamabad
• Online participation available worldwide

🌍 Context: Pakistan-focused, globally relevant

CBDR Circle has consistently worked to democratize knowledge through capacity-building initiatives, including its flagship programs on climate change and human rights, technology-facilitated gender-based violence, professional development, and legal awareness.

For students, young professionals, first responders, lawyers, researchers, and practitioners seeking to understand the future of law, technology, and gender, this course offers a unique opportunity to engage, question, and learn.

We are proud to share that the founder of the Capacity Building, Development & Research (CBDR) Circle, Waiza Rafique Official, has authored a thought-provoking new book titled “Mirroring Fragments of Rights.”

This publication is a powerful reflection on constitutional rights in Pakistan—how they are promised, how they are fractured, and how they must be reimagined. Drawing from years of experience in legal practice, legislative reform, and human rights advocacy, the book weaves together real-world violations, legal voids, and the struggles for reform—offering insight into the gaps between law and justice.
