About the Organizers
Oakwood students and faculty bring together leading human rights activists from around the world for Oakwood’s Gender Justice Summit (GJS). This landmark event, with a focus on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal #5: to achieve gender equality, is organized and facilitated by a group of passionate, advocacy-driven Oakwood students.
The Pad Project is a global nonprofit that expands access to menstrual care products, combats period stigma, and champions menstrual equity for all.
The mission of OCHR is to inspire a new generation of students into action for human rights by creating access, providing opportunities, establishing a pipeline for underrepresented students, and building a new community of practice.
