ENVISIONING THE FUTURE OF WOMEN'S RIGHTS
We have been pleased to participate in an event with The Advocates for Human Rights. Women’s Program Director Rosalyn Park spoke about giving voice to women’s human rights defenders around the world. Staff attorney Kaarin Long discussed strengthening Minnesota’s laws on sexual assault. The event featured a special vocal performance of “A Beautiful Noise” by members of Waves of Change.
