2024 Public Voices Fellow on Advancing the Rights of Women and Girls
I am absolutely thrilled to share I’m one of Equality Now and The OpEd Project’s 2024 Public Voices Fellows on Advancing the Rights of Women and Girls! I’ll focus on access to justice for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, and feel incredibly fortunate to be able to draw on my own experiences alongside the expertise of my ever inspiring colleagues at New York Legal Assistance Group.
Survivors’ meaningful access to information, resources, and justice depends on a holistic and responsive understanding of experiences, identities, and systems, and there’s a lot to discuss around keeping survivors’ humanity and autonomy at the center of it all. I’m so looking forward to delving into this work, getting to know and learn from my cohort colleagues, and stepping into my voice in this way.
