International Women's Human Rights

IWHR Clinic's social justice mission is two-fold:

  • To provide counsel and support to victims, activists and movements responsive to evolving demands for social justice addressing primarily gender and gender intersectional issues.

  • To graduate students with foundational knowledge of international law, well-honed change-oriented lawyering skills and sensitivity to their identity and role and to multi-cultural perspectives.
