International Refugee Law and the Global Compact- Where are the Women?
International refugee law and the accompanying frameworks and initiatives can seem remote and impenetrable and are also continually changing. This makes it difficult for refugee and asylum-claiming women and their advocates to keep up-to-date on their rights and how to access them. In this recording of WiRL's sixth and final public seminar on the theme of "Refuge in a cold climate: the impact on women" we address that concern, asking what current initiatives offer women by way of improved protection and how can refugee women, practitioners and advocates engage with and inform these mechanisms.
