The Women in Refugee Law (WiRL) Network was set up in 2021 to bring together asylum seeking and refugee women, senior and early career scholars, practitioners, policymakers and activists working in this field around the globe. 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.
Join WiRL online for the first Women in Refugee Law (WiRL) Network conference on Tuesday, 30 November 2021. The conference will bring together academics, activists and practitioners to discuss key questions in asylum, refugee and human rights law.
