An event for those who will be in San Francisco on Tuesday April 12: A fundraiser for the International Network for Gender Equity and Law, “an international network of lawyers who believe in gender equality and justice for all people. A new concept in pro bono work, we harness the power of volunteer lawyers, and use it to promote and help secure equity and rights for women and girls locally, nationally, and around the world.”

The April 12 event will honor IntLawGrrl and award-winning author Karima Bennoune, who many readers know is now the UN Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights.  Bennoune will deliver the keynote address.  Details about the event: Acts of Courage, Seeds of Hope.
