Refugee Women at Risk: Current Challenges and Potential Legal Pathways

Women refugees often face specific risks and challenges because of their gender and family status as well as the failure of legal systems to recognize or account for these risks. This session will explore some of the most pressing risks and challenges facing women refugees, and discuss how legal systems can better address these challenges. The session will focus on U.S. refugee law from a comparative perspective and discuss recent developments on refugee issues in the U.S.

The lecture will be followed by a short Q@A session.
