In this episode, we sat down with Julie Dubé-Gagnon, a Canadian jurist and investigator specializing in sexual and gender-based crimes (SGBC). Julie currently works with a UN investigative mechanism and has contributed to several UN investigative bodies, including those focused on violations and abuses in Myanmar (Burma), Ukraine, Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Burundi and the Central African Republic, among others. She discusses the critical role of gender advisers in these investigations and the importance of understanding the full scope of gender dynamics when assessing the impact on victims of atrocities. Julie also addresses common misconceptions about gender-based violence and explores how international accountability mechanisms are responding to SGBC.
