EQUITAS IN TORONTO – Alaa Murabit on Identity, Mobility and Human Rights Education in a Changing World

On December 9th, 2015 Equitas hosted an event with the young and dynamic women’s rights advocate, Libyan-Canadian Alaa Murabit and CTV’s Lloyd Robertson, on the theme of “Identity and Mobility: Human Rights Education in a Changing World“.

Organized by Equitas and hosted by TD Bank Group, this cocktail-event was an opportunity to meet one of the world’s leading voices for women’s rights and one of Canada’s leading journalists. It also offered the chance to network with Equitas friends and partners from Toronto’s human rights and corporate communities on the eve of International Human Rights Day.
