Launch of WiRL Network

Summary

On 4 May 2021, a Roundtable was organised to launch the network.

Twenty-one participants from European countries, Australia and the USA attended, including academics, asylum-seeking and refugee women, activists, advocates, and representatives of UNHCR, NGOs and the legal profession. Participants brainstormed and identified research questions and areas of contemporary significance for the protection of refugee women, before proposing steps for taking the initiative forward.

The Roundtable was informed by a Concept Note (PDF).
