Event description
What does a human rights lawyer do?
Why do we need human rights lawyers in Australia now?
Come to our lunch and find out. Have your questions answered.
Alison Battisson and her team focus on long term detained and complex-case refugees and stateless people. Of particular interest to the firm are extremely vulnerable detained persons, including members of the LGBTIQA+ community, the disabled, and First Nations people whose complicated or unrecognised citizenship put them at risk of being deported.
In addition to the onshore work, Alison also played a crucial role in assisting female athletes, their families and others escape Kabul, Afghanistan in August 2021. Over 110 people were airlifted to safety as a result. Alison continues to work to bring Afghan women at risk to safety.
Also a silent auction of works of art with the very entertaining Philip Feinstein
