The Gender Justice Collection

Originally the Avon Global Center for Women & Justice, this database was acquired by the LII in 2017, and operated as The Women & Justice Collection (WJC) through 2024. In 2025, the collection was renamed The Gender Justice Collection. While the Gender Justice Collection has a similar name to the Cornell Law School Gender Justice Clinic , they operate and are managed separately.

The Gender Justice Collection provides access to international, regional, and domestic case law and legislation related to promoting gender justice and ending gender-based violence.
