Human Rights Brigades LSE July 2013 Panama



Clara's Message

I've always been passionate about Law and Human Rights, as well as volunteering. I am, for example, actively involved with Student Amnesty International UK, and have done volunteering in Morocco a few years ago. This experience especially has made me want to volunteer again, which is why I want to go to Panama this summer. I'd really like to help local communities and contribute something to their lives and in order to improve it - this will be such a rewarding experience for both them, and us, the volunteers. Additionally, I'd just like to get to know a completely different country; not only its legal system, but also its culture and people - an experience, from which I will surely grow personally and learn a lot. Spreading Human Rights and making sure people know of their rights is one of the most important issues around the world. Going to Panama, therefore, though it might only be a small step to reach that goal, is very significant to me.

Volunteer Activity Description

Human Rights Brigades volunteers work with Panamanian lawyers to provide pro-bono legal consulting through a 7 day brigade in Panama. Human Rights Brigades provides services to remote communities, on a family by family basis. By focusing on the families of one community at a time, volunteers can not only shadow and assist lawyers as they provide legal consulting to community members, but also take an active role in providing legal assistance on a personalized scale. Human Rights Brigades primarily works with remote communities that are under resourced and largely unaware of their legal rights.Volunteers lead legal education workshops tailored to the community on various topics such as: the land titling process, government institutions, family law, property rights, business rights, conflict resolution, etc. Student are able to put their legal research to practice and shadow lawyers in developing solutions to various legal problems. The brigade experience is a life changing experience for both the community members and our student volunteers!
