 It's my privilege to introduce a panel as a feminist who has used restorative approaches in my practice for many years. I'm very pleased to bring together a group of people who exemplify a feminist vision of justice, and many of us are striving daily to achieve that. They will share with us their learning from research, from practice, and experience, and will have an opportunity to explore these possibilities at our session tomorrow. I don't want to take any time away from my panel, I just want to introduce them to you. I have Dr. Kim Stanton, who will speak first. She's a human rights equality and constitutional lawyer. I know that she's worked in the United Nations on the Gaza Strip with the African Women's Lawyers Association to address sexual harassment in Ghana and providing legal support to the legal team in Bosnia, Herzegovina, Genocide case, which was an international court of justice. She served on the Truth Commission in West Africa, she practiced in Vancouver and Toronto, and her focus has been on Aboriginal human rights and administrative law. Next we have Todd, Augusta Scott.
