Indigenous peoples are among the most marginalised and vulnerable groups
in countries across our region.
The APF's blended learning course aims to support our members to work
more effectively with indigenous communities and to promote and protect
their human rights.
The four-week online course examines the key provisions in the United
Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, as well as the
principles of self-determination; participation in decision-making; respect for
and protection of culture; and equality and non-discrimination.
Other discussion topics focus on the ways in which NHRIs can use their
education, complaint handling, advisory and investigation functions to
advance the rights of indigenous peoples, along with using the international
human rights system to promote the Declaration and its implementation at
the country level.
The APF's first blended learning program on the rights of indigenous peoples
ran from March to May 2015 and involved representatives from the NHRIs of
Australia, Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, the
Philippines, Sri Lanka and Thailand.

Over a very short period, the few decades since the early 1970s, “indigenous peoples” has been transformed
from a prosaic description without much significance in international law and politics, into a concept with
considerable power as a basis for group mobilization, international standard setting, transnational networks and
programmatic activity of intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations.

Spatial Govemmentality and the New Urban Social Order: Controlling Gender Violence
through Law
Sally Engle Merry
First published: 07 January 2008
Abstract
The new urban social order depends on a complex combination of systems of
punishment, discipline, and security. Scholars drawing on Foucault's analysis of the art
and rationality of governance, or govemmentality, have explored how urban social orders
are increasingly based on the governance of space rather than on the discipline of
offenders or the punishment of offenses. The new urban social order is characterized by
privatized security systems and consumer‐policed spaces such as malls. Gender violence
interventions represent another deployment of spatial forms of govemmentality. Over the
last two decades, punishment of batterers has been augmented by disciplinary systems
that teach batterers new forms of masculinity and by security systems for women based
on spatial separation. In the postmodern city, spatial govemmentality is integrally
connected with punishment and discipline. These new forms of governance circulate
globally along with neoliberal ideas of the diminished state, [gender violence,

The gendered nature of the immigration experience is shaped and reinforced by law,
legal consciousness, and the normative understandings they help constitute. This article
provides an overview of the role of gender in migration processes from a law and society
perspective, and includes an empirical focus on the new immigration to Italy and Spain
as an illustration of the utility of such an approach. Beginning with a brief summary of the
literatures of feminist jurisprudence and law and migration, respectively, the small body
of scholarship at the intersection of these fields is reviewed. The author then examines
the new immigration to Italy and Spain and argues that this immigration and the policies
that shape it highlight the role of the state in gendering immigrant labor and offer new
angles from which to consider the interplay of gender, race, migration status, and
marginality. In concluding, the author proposes that such exploration of immigrants’
experiences in southern Europe reveals the surprising complexity of immigrants’ multiple
marginalities, and exposes the powerful contingencies of economic context, prevailing
stereotypes, the particulars of state policy, and the agentive power of people struggling
to survive.
