Resource:

Women in Refugee Law Network (WiRL) [access]
- "The purpose of the network is 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. It aims to safeguard advances and identify contemporary obstacles to the protection of women in refugee law, policy and practice." WiRL's new website provides information on how to join the network, along with access to event details and key guidelines. In addition, it has developed a searchable database that houses "links to research, legal cases and other resources relating to refugee women."
