    United in Diversity: Fighting the Anti-Trans Movement

    Across the United States, a dramatic rise in legislation targeting transgender and gender non-conforming people increasingly threatens the human rights of LGBTIQ+ people. These laws not only put transgender and gender non-conforming people at serious risk of discrimination and harm, but they also contravene international human rights standards. In this episode, we will look at the anti-trans movement in the United States, the impact of these laws on transgender people's lives, and how international human rights law addresses issues of gender identity and expression.

    Beyond the Headlines: Child Migrant Labor

    An explosive report in the New York Times found that hundreds of unaccompanied children are being exploited for their labor by some of America's biggest companies. Child labor is only possible through multiple failures of the protection system to prevent such abuses. In this episode, Michele Garnett McKenzie, deputy director of The Advocates for Human Rights, is joined by attorneys Kim Boche, who represents unaccompanied children facing removal, and Lindsey Greising, who represents victims of labor trafficking, to understand how the legal system protects - or puts at risk - unaccompanied children.
