The Gender and Policy Forum is organized by the Council on Latin American and Iberian Studies and promotes synergies between researchers and public policy leaders in Latin America.
This discussion will feature the work of three graduate students who explore the challenges and opportunities of achieving equality through law and civil society organizing.
