Organized by: IAPSS Oceania

The Oceania Branch of the International Association for Political Science Students (IAPSS) is happy to announce our second monthly event coming up on the 15th of June covering the topic of feminism in Oceania.

This June event will focus on a discussion about how law can affect the lives of women in our region and impact their status, legal representation, reproductive rights, personal safety and access to justice.

Each of our speakers has a particular focus on each one of these areas and will provide the audience with an insightful window into these topics and ways in which things should and can change for better regional protection of women’s rights and status in Oceania!
