Description
Prof Marshall partnered with a north London based charity, Sister System, for an event which was part of the Festival of Social Sciences. With thanks to the RHUL Social Science Accelerator fund, and Sister System’s sponsors, the Graduation Day of celebration event took place at Royal Holloway’s hub in Senate House, central London as part of the Festival in October 2023. It celebrated the achievements, courses and qualifications of girls and young women affected by the care system. As well as co-organising the event, Prof Marshall was one of two guest speakers, the other being Lexi Duberry of Hope in Haringey. Jill publicised the women’s rights background of the founding of Royal Holloway, inviting the girls to our Egham campus, and will work with Sister System on various research ideas. She spoke about the potential of human rights and social justice laws to promote Education, Empowerment and Ending violence against girls and women.
