Hi all!

I will be taking part in the 7 day Human Rights Global Brigade project in Panama.

This project will involve shadowing Panamanian lawyers to provide free legal advice to disadvantaged rural communities. It will be an opportunity to work with communities in Panama that are legally under-resourced and lack information regarding their rights. This project involves assisting and supporting families to solve their legal problems revolved around domestic violence, divorces and child support.

In addition to assisting with family cases, we will support lawyers during a community legal clinic, where community members will have short sessions with the lawyer to present legal challenges and receive pro-bono consulting and resources.

The brigade also works alongside the Panamanian Ministry of Social Development (MIDES) to present educational workshops on topics related to legal rights and concepts for presentation to the community schools.

Any donations towards the project will be greatly appreciated!
Without the Human Rights Global Brigade project, many local citizens will not have access to the legal support they deserve, and exercise the legal rights they have.
