The Legacy of Rape: Art, Law and Social Justice with Patricia Cronin (Artist, Brooklyn College), Leora Kahn (Director, PROOF: Media for Social Justice), Katherine Franke (Professor, Columbia Law School) and Anna Di Lellio (Professor, The New School), moderated by Marianne Hirsch, IRWGS. 

This panel marks the opening of the The Legacy of Rape exhibitm, a moving series of first-hand accounts from women who have survived sexual violence during times of armed conflict.

In speaking out, women from Colombia, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Nepal, and Bosnia and Herzegovina courageously shed light on the impunity many perpetrators enjoy, despite victims' limited recourse for justice. In doing so, these women not only encourage others to speak out, but also make visible the need for policy changes at regional, national, and international levels.

From December 1st to 15th, Legacy will be displayed of the 7th floor of Schermerhorn Extension. Join us from 5:30- 7:00 pm on December 1st to take part in the panel discussion.
