Meet Dr. Gurpreet Kaur
Dr. Gurpreet Kaur is a global women’s rights expert. She received her B.A. (Hons) and M.A. degrees from the National University of Singapore and has a Ph.D. in Gender and Postcolonial Ecofeminism in Literature from the University of Warwick. She is an endometriosis survivor and was on a wheelchair for five years. Her interest in pursuing international law and policy towards justice was cemented during these years as she experienced first-hand through disability and gender bias that disempowerment can take various forms and shapes. So, she finished pursuing international human rights law at SOAS in 2022, focusing on conceptions of female violence and terrorism. In bring all the different strands together, Gurpreet has worked on climate justice through an intersectional lens, violence against women and girls, gender equality and health equity.
She now also raises awareness on endometriosis and disability, and the disproportionate impact it can have on women’s careers and life opportunities. More recently, she has been using her life experiences in exploring the interconnectedness of sexual, reproductive and health rights with every aspect of a woman’s life, including climate, security, violence and conflict. She has been nominated for the UN Women UK award for outstanding contributions to gender equality, and is on the Climate Action Network UK’s steering committee for inclusion and human rights. In her free time, Gurpreet can be found watching Netflix, writing and travelling.
