AFLA was founded on 21st October 1995, to coincide with Africa Day of Human Rights.

Reports Released on Gender Mentoring Training Programme for ICC Judges
Appreciation of the impact of gender and diversity on decision making is an essential prerequisite to ensuring equal protection of the law to all – a core commitment of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Judgments of the ICC have been criticised academically in the past for their failures to properly appreciate the impact of gender and failures to demonstrate appreciation of the intersectionality between gender, race and gender identity.
It is this need for a deeper understanding of gender that prompted Africa Legal Aid’s Executive Director, Evelyn A. Ankumah to develop a gender-sensitive judging series. While this programme is especially meant to benefit ICC Judges, for the broadest sharing of lessons, Judges of other international courts and tribunals also participate.
