Join the Margaret Cuninggim Women-s Center and the Human Identities Initiative for a brown-bag lunch presentation with human rights attorney Rachel Gore Freed!
Rachel Gore Freed, a Vanderbilt Law school graduate, has worked with victims of rape and war crimes atrocities, both on the ground in Sierra Leone and in immigration detention centers in New Jersey. Rachel-s experiences - working with vulnerable women and representing them on the prosecutorial side at a war crimes tribunal in the Hague and on the defense side in federal immigration courts in the US - illustrate the intersection of gender, justice and accountability in human rights.
Free and open to the public. Contact the Women-s Center at 322-4843 with questions
