IHRP Fellowship: Final Report Chelsey Legge

This summer, thanks to the International Human Rights Program (IHRP), I had the opportunity to work as a fellow with the Women’s Rights Division at the HRW headquarters in New York City. [...] The Women’s Rights Division at HRW works toward the realization of women’s empowerment and gender equality, protecting the rights and improving the lives of women around the world. [...] He spoke about the role of HRW, the current priorities of the organization, and the challenges human rights advocates can expect to face in the coming decades. [...] I was so moved by the tenacity of the film subjects, their commitment to justice in the face of enormous obstacles, both state-imposed and cultural. [...] I learned so much from Skye and the whole Women’s Rights Division, from the lunchtime speakers, and from everyone I bumped in to around the office.
