The RULE OF LAW INITIATIVE is an international human rights platform which is guided by a twofold vision: one is to promote people-centred justice through provision of data collection, advice and training. The other is to create community and networking opportunities for women through EnRoL! - The Human Rights & Rule of Law Speaker Series, the global webinar series celebrating female role models.
