Just before the release of the book, Hart House Podcasting alums Ruvimbo and Tony had a chance to meet with two U of T Law students from the IHRP clinic to ask them about their work on this project, what motivated them to pursue a career in law, and their reflections on some of life’s bigger questions. This week on The West Meeting Room we’ll hear from India Annamanthadoo, who paints us a picture of her travels Rwanda as she shares stories of vulnerability, connection and empowerment. Please note that while the focus of these conversations is on resilience, you should know that we will be discussing survivors of sexual violence. So be sure to take care of yourself in whatever way is best. </p><p>Here is a link to the mentioned article that India wrote for Rights Review <a href="https://ihrp.law.utoronto.ca/reflections-rwanda" target="_blank">https://ihrp.law.utoronto.ca/reflections-rwanda</a></p>
