Intimate Partner Violence and Asylum in the Americas: Canada, Chile, Mexico, Peru
On Jan 30, the new Center for Human Rights, Gender and Migration will launch a groundbreaking report with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, entitled Intimate Partner Violence and Asylum in the Americas: Canada, Chile, Mexico, Peru.
The report examines barriers that survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) face in the asylum application, interview, and adjudication processes in Canada, Chile, Mexico, and Peru.
After a brief presentation of the Center's research findings, we will engage (4) experts from across campus in a discussion about intersecting challenges of migration, gender, and service provision:
Professor Tonya Edmond (Social Work);
Professor Tabea Linhard (Spanish and Comparative Literature);
Professor Katie Meyer (Law);
Professor Lindsay Stark (Public Health).
The launch will be held on 30 January 2020 at 12:30 p.m. in 132 Goldfarb Hall, at the Brown School. Lunch will be provided.
More information can be found here.
If you are interested in joining us, please RSVP here by 27 January 2020. Please also indicate any dietary restrictions you may have. We would be delighted to see you.
