CSW66 Side-Event: Pro Bono Power – Advancing Climate Justice Through Feminist Leadership
Our panel will address the important role that pro bono lawyers play in assisting change agents worldwide to combat climate injustice, including the often gendered effects of climate change and Covid-19. We will discuss this ongoing struggle, exacerbated by the pandemic, and consider tools and best practices that will lessen climate injustices and their disproportionate impact on women. Join us for our Commission on the Status of Women side-event on March 23rd at 1 pm PDT via Zoom! Register for this event: iangel.org/csw66
Resources to support survivors of trafficking
IANGEL believes that raising awareness of the issue of human trafficking must go beyond the month of January, also known as National Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Educating, advocating and sharing resources to help combat the problem are year-round needs. We’ve gathered a list of important links and resources for those who may find themselves, or someone they know, in a situation where they need help and support: iangel.org/ht-resources
