    Paul Hastings Leads Major Pro Bono Effort For Afghan Women With Sisters Of Service

    After female members of the U.S. military helped 43 Afghan women with whom they had worked leave Afghanistan and get to the United States, the next step was to apply for immigration benefits. Renata Parras, Paul Hastings ESG counsel, created a legal task force to navigate their pathway to resettlement in the United States. In this episode, we talk with two members of the U.S. military, who cofounded the organization Sisters of Service and tell the story of working alongside these Afghan women, the bonds they formed, how they helped these women get out of Afghanistan, and their ongoing efforts to support these women and their families. We also talk with Renata to learn how this major pro bono effort evolved and the legal process for these female heroes as they seek to remain in the United States.
