Thematic Focus: Gender Issues - Pt. 1

Opportunities:

Women in Refugee Law (WiRL) [website] [Twitter]
- "WiRL invites individuals with an interest in refugee law, policy and practice to join the network and be part of its activities. Membership is for asylum seeking and refugee women, senior and early career scholars, practitioners, policymakers and activists working in this field around the globe. It is free to join. WiRL was set up in 2021 to re-centre the study of refugee women within refugee law, policy and practice. In particular, the initiative challenges the assumption that legal and policy changes in the last 30 years have displaced the need for continued research and advocacy efforts by and in support of refugee women. If you are interested to join, please email Dr. Elizabeth Mavropoulou at em671@sussex.ac.uk."
