On
August 8, 2002, KARAMAH held a networking party and fundraiser
for human right advocates and lawyers in the Washington, DC
metropolitan area. The networking dinner provided a unique
opportunity for human rights advocates and representatives
from local non-profit, legal, and women's organizations, to
meet and interact with one another. Many area Muslim lawyers
and law students joined as well. The event was a great success,
approximately 70 people from many diverse ethnic and religious
backgrounds attending the event. Representatives from almost
all the major human rights organizations in the DC area were
present and everyone was seen eagerly exchanging business
cards and contact information. KARAMAH plans to organize more
of these community and NGO outreach activities. |
