Story
This June, a group of student volunteers from Edinburgh University are heading to Panama to take part in a 7-day brigade that will promote the protection of human rights and educate local communities on the rights available to them.
Throughout the week, Human Rights Brigades volunteers shadow Panamanian lawyers to provide pro-bono legal consulting to rural communities. A free legal clinic provides opportunities for volunteers to not only receive experience with Panamanian legal professionals but also experience first-hand the obstacles to justice and the culture of legal misinformation in rural communities.
Volunteers also work to provide capacity building and education-based workshops on various legal concepts to empower communities through education. These workshops play an active role in expanding the understanding and attitudes of rural Panamanians on complex issues that impact their lives on a daily basis.
Additionally, volunteers continue shadowing Panamanian lawyers while they gather important information to initiate the process of resolving family legal cases, many of which have been stalled in Panama's legal system through institutional inefficiencies and the prohibitive high costs of legal services.
Between brigades, Global Brigades’ in-country staff works to secure legal outcomes and provide follow-up to the community.
As some of the students are studying human rights and wish to progress towards a human rights based career in the future, this trip will be extremely beneficial to them. More importantly, each volunteer has a passionate interest in the promotion and protection of human rights globally, and the opportunity this brigade provides of allowing us to be a part of that is meaningful to us all.
