The conference will host the participation of about 800 women judges and 200 participants both women and men from 100 countries, many world NGOs and representatives from UN agencies, for the sake of reinforcing exchange of expertise and experiences among concerned countries; and developing strategies at the national regional and international level to advance conditions of women judges.
