In this episode Paul talks to Regan Ralph, the founding president and CEO of the Fund for Global Human Rights. Prior to launching the Fund, Regan was vice president for health and reproductive rights at the National Women’s Law Center in Washington, DC, where she led advocacy, policy, and educational strategies to promote the quality and availability of health care for American women. From 1992 to 2001, Regan helped build and direct the Women’s Rights division of Human Rights Watch, where she developed campaigns to ensure the prosecution of sexual violence in conflict as a war crime, to secure recognition of gender-based persecution as grounds for asylum, and to promote women’s rights in countries including Russia, Egypt, Turkey, South Africa, Pakistan, and Mexico.

Paul and Regan take a deep dive into the state of Human Rights in the world today, how Regan sees it moving forward and what work she is doing to create change at the grassroots level.
