Dear Guest,

We hope to see you at our next event in June and if you are 35 years or under, you will benefit from the members rate of 55 CHF.

Event topic: Business and Human Rights- why should I care?

We are delighted to have Mary Mayenfisch-Tobin as our Speaker in June. Mary Mayenfisch-Tobin holds a Bachelor in Civil Law from University College Dublin, qualified as a Solicitor from the Incorporated Law Society, Dublin, an accredited mediator, Regents University, London and she has an LLM in European and Economic Law, University of Lausanne. She worked as a lawyer in Ireland and Switzerland where she has been a lobbyist for the Swiss Amnesty International Business and Human Rights group since 2005. She initiated the Platform for Business and Human Rights and this is currently located at the department of International Public Law at the University of Lausanne.

Today we are all connected but we feel powerless in the face of the massive challenges that face the world right now. Climate change, terrorism, slavery, poverty, inequality, famines…..

In order to live in a world that is kind, compassionate and balanced women need to take their place in society, Mary Mayenfisch-Tobin believes in education, in connectivity and in the power of the female spirit to move us in the right direction. She will talk about her work in the area of Business and Human Rights, the lobbying work with Amnesty International, the Responsible Business Initiative which is currently under discussion in Switzerland right now and she will give some ideas on how we can all contribute to sustaining our planet and its people.
