The South Asian Legal Clinic of BC is proud to share that our Community Law Advocate, Avneet Kaur Sidhu, served as a panelist at the SFU Amnesty International Women’s Day Panel held on March 20, 2026.
The event brought together advocates, students, and community leaders to engage in meaningful discussions on equity, social justice, and the importance of community-based advocacy. It created an important platform for dialogue, learning, and reflection on the ongoing challenges and opportunities in advancing gender equity and supporting marginalized communities.
Avneet contributed to the panel by sharing insights from her work on the ground, highlighting the legal and systemic barriers faced by underserved populations, particularly within South Asian communities. Her participation reflected SALCBC’s ongoing commitment to increasing access to justice and amplifying community voices in critical conversations.
