DESCRIPTION:Call for Papers / Workshop Beyond the Gender Blind Spot: I
 ntersectional Feminist and Gendered Perspectives to Business and Human
  Rights Research Workshop 12-13 November 2026 · in Nürnberg/Erlangen
  Hosted by FAU CHREN\, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg and European University 
 Viadrina Abstract Submission deadline: 5 July 2026  Concept Note Almo
 st fifteen years after the adoption of the UN Guiding Principles on Bu
 siness and Human Rights (UNGPs)\, corporate accountability frameworks 
 still often overlook gendered and especially intersectional harms. Cur
 rent due diligence approaches tend to focus on formal employment risks
 \, while paying less attention to harms that disproportionately affect
  women\, girls\, queer\, and gender-diverse persons and especially the
 ir intersections\, including informal and reproductive labour\, land d
 ispossession\, environmental violence\, sexual and gender-based violen
 ce\, and the weakening of community and care infrastructures. These ga
 ps cannot be solved simply by adding a “gender lens” to existing d
 ue diligence tools. They reflect deeper structural problems in how cor
 porate harm and responsibility are understood. Although the UN Working
  Group on Business and Human Rights has called for a gender-transforma
 tive approach to the UNGPs\, implementation remains limited\, and femi
 nist BHR scholarship is still fragmented across disciplines. This work
 shop therefore asks how Business and Human Rights framework can be rei
 magined through feminist\, intersectional\, decolonial\, and Global So
 uth perspectives. It takes place at a key moment\, as diverse developm
 ents across the world\, inter alia\, the German Supply Chain Due Dilig
 ence Act (LkSG)\, the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Direct
 ive (CSDDD)\, the EU Forced Labour Regulation\, the EU AI Act\, the Di
 gital Services Act\, the Digital Markets Act\, proposed due diligence 
 laws in South Korea and Thailand\, as well as UN Binding Treaty negoti
 ations are shaping the future of corporate accountability. T
