Episode transcript available here.A year ago, Hart House hosted a Talking Walls exhibit in collaboration with the U of T Law Faculty’s International Human Rights Program for the release of the book And I Live On: The Resilience of Rwandan Genocide Survivors of Sexual Violence. 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 Mehak Kawatra, who shared insights about empowerment, emotional labour, and the vital role of stories in advocacy work. Please note that while the focus of these conversations is on resilience, you should know that we will be discussing the experiences of survivors of sexual violence. So be sure to take care of yourself in whatever way is best. https://www.law.utoronto.ca/programs-centres/programs/international-human-rights-program Here is a link to the article mentioned in the interview, written by Mehak for Rights Review: https://ihrp.law.utoronto.ca/they-live-survivor-s-narratives-empowerment-25-years-after-rwandan-genocide
