The Instituto Jurídico Portucalense (IJP) took part in the XXVIII Congreso Internacional y Semipresencial de Historia de los Derechos Humanos, held at the University of Salamanca from 24 to 26 September 2025
Since 1997, this congress — led by María Esther Martínez Quinteiro (Professor at the University of Salamanca and integrated researcher at the IJP) — has been a key forum for discussion in the field of human rights. The IJP’s participation reinforces its commitment to the international debate on human rights from multidisciplinary and intersectional perspectives.
The Research Unit was represented by its Director, Maria Manuela Magalhães Silva, guest speaker with the lecture ‘Human rights and new challenges from a constitutional perspective’, and by Olívia de Carvalho, integrated researcher, who presented the paper ‘The protection of children in the legal system: From law to practice’.
During the Congress, the e-book Women, Gender and Intersectionality in Perspective was also presented, a publication resulting from a selection of papers from the Working Group ‘Studies on Women, Gender and Intersectionality’, developed in the 2024 edition of the event. The group was coordinated by Zamira de Assis, who shares the coordination of the e-book with Maria Manuela Magalhães Silva and Maria Esther Martínez Quinteiro.
