In this episode, we explore the defense of human rights in Mali with Racki Gakou, Communications and Advocacy Officer at Lawyers Without Borders Canada.
Racki shares her commitment to helping communities understand, access, and claim their rights, particularly women, girls, and people in vulnerable situations. As part of her participation in Equitas’ International Human Rights Training Program (IHRTP) in 2025, she reflects on her awareness-raising work against child marriage, gender-based violence, and the challenges related to implementing national and international legislation. Listen to this inspiring conversation about the role of advocacy, resilience, and hope in promoting human rights in Mali.
“My work is about helping people raise their voices, understand their rights, access them, and claim them.”
