On this International Women’s Day, who comes to mind when you think of a strong woman? Do you picture your mother? What about your grandmother or a sister? At CLINIC, our thoughts are drawn to a school teacher in Brockton, Massachusetts who fled Haiti after the devastating earthquake of 2010.

On December 4, 2000, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly proclaimed December 18 International Migrants Day. This day began as a commemoration of the ten-year anniversary of the adoption of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. Today, ten years after the proclamation, and twenty years since the adoption of the Convention, it is important to reflect on the need to protect the rights of all migrants.
