What Would You Fight for?: Fighting to Defend Human Rights

When Nobel laureate Maria Ressa was arrested for cyber libel in the Philippines she turned to Notre Dame Law professor Diane Desierto.
As the director of the Law School’s new Global Human Rights Clinic, Desierto has fought for human rights primarily in the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries. She's working to foster community amongst Notre Dame Law students and human rights defenders across the world.
"Notre Dame is one place that has genuine freedom to do all of it and be all of it. Where we strive to realize the human rights outcome.”
We are proud to have our program and our newly announced Notre Dame Law School Global Human Rights Clinic featured in the last episode of Notre Dame’s What Would You Fight For Series for the 2023 season.
