Kirsten Youens, Chief Executive Director of ALL RISE was invited to attend the Southern Africa Human Rights Defenders Summit in Mozambique last week to share her experience as an environmental defender and as a lawyer defending those who are in need of environmental justice.
She addressed important issues such as government being held accountable for its failure to defend the defenders, and upholding the Constitutional rights of it’s citizens. Kirsten spoke on environmental justice in a side session and woman defenders in the plenary session. Thank you to SAHRDN for the invitation
