This Spring IANGEL was asked to produce a special paper on the intersection of women, culture and climate change, in order to inform the UN Special Rapporteur on Cultural Rights’ forthcoming report on climate change. “Women, Cultural Rights and Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities in Response to the Global Crisis” has just been released.
In the spirit of resiliency through the arts, we share this song, “Coronavirus Blues,” recently written and recorded by our Board President and Founder Nancy Newman and friends.
As we adjust to this global pandemic, let us remember the strength of our networks when we work together.
IANGEL recently attended “The Global Fight Against Human Trafficking, International and Comparative Perspectives,” hosted by SFCAHT, the Consulates General of Israel and Mexico, and the University of San Francisco.
