Beyond 16 Days Episode 2: The importance of Human Rights Day and exploring constitutional damages as an effective remedy

In episode two of our Beyond 16 Days Series, Director Brigitta Mangale and Senior Associate Elgene Roos in the Pro Bono & Humans Rights practice unpack the importance of Human Rights Day and exploring constitutional damages as an effective remedy. They are both passionate about women's rights and the fight against violence for women. While they appreciate the opportunity to shine the spotlight on these issues during the annual 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children, they are acutely aware that meaningful and necessary change can only come from year-round discussion and dedication. In this episode, they explore the key considerations our Courts take into account when parties seek constitutional damages and how constitutional damages can be used as a remedy, in gender-based violence cases.
