À propos de cet audio

 Hosted by human rights lawyer, Jen Ang, the Lawmanity podcast asks big questions like: How does human rights law really work in practice? And how have activists used the law to create real social change? Every episode we will bring you legal summaries of interesting cases and one-to-one interviews with activists and lawyers across the UK who are using the law in creative ways to challenge unfairness and secure justice for people and communities who are excluded, discriminated against and overlooked. We will also bring you insights about the people behind the legends, with inspiration and advice on how to build a successful career in activism and law – and what it takes to stay focused, be resilient and have fun along the way!Jen Ang, Lawmanity Développement commercial et entrepreneuriat Entrepreneurship Gestion et leadership Sciences sociales Économie

    Challenging the UK Government's Rwanda Policy Pt.2
    Jul 11 2025
    Episode Notes

    In part 2 of our interview with Alison Pickup, Legal Director at Asylum Aid, we pick up where we left off in the last episode: the legal win that her team secured after taking a case all the way to the UK Supreme Court that resulted in the court confirming that Rwanda was not a safe place to send refugees. Alison describes what the UK Government responded to that judgement, and how her team stepped in, again, to protect asylum seekers. We end the episode with some reflections from Alison on what more needs to be done to secure justice for refugees, and also her very wise advice for aspiring human rights lawyers and activists.
