This was during the launch of Tailoring Training in Goma with funding from Yagirwa Foundation in 2022.

INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS ADVOCACY CLINIC
The International Human Rights Advocacy Clinic (IHRAC) at Florida State University College of Law offers students hands-on experience partnering with international non-governmental organizations engaged in human rights advocacy. Participating students gain experience in areas including fact-finding, evidence collection, research, reports, advisory memoranda, trial monitoring, UN submissions, and norm development. They also develop a variety of skills including trauma-informed interviewing, persuasive writing, media, collaboration, leadership, professional identity, cross-cultural lawyering, and methods to cope with vicarious trauma. In addition, students discuss current events in human rights, and the role lawyers play in the human rights movement.
The International Network for the Reduction of Abortion Discrimination and Stigma
Abortion is among issues affecting young people and unfortunately in the Democratic Republic of Congo such debate and programs are not on the agenda. This why we joined INROADS in order to advance the conversation and save lives.
Together with PILnet we are working on the rights of refugees and other forms of Forced Migrants, with a particular attention on the situation of refugees in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Through we explore legal and advocacy opportunities and link up with other actors around the world.
Our work is focused on capacity building, documenting human rights violations, sharing information and working on the protection of Human Rights Defenders at risk.
