In this episode, we are speaking with Rachel Kohut from the National Association of Women and the Law (NAWL). Rachel’s work in public health and legal advocacy has covered many important issues including sexual and reproductive rights, sexual health, maternal health, access to medicines and intellectual property, housing rights, and domestic violence and sexual assault. 

Now, at NAWL, she is the director of a project called Rebuilding Feminist Law Reform Capacity. 

We talked about digital advocacy and making information accessible, among other things:

• A short history of NAWL
• Challenges and motivation for redesigning the Feminist Law Reform 101 online course
• Editing complex and long content for the web
• Reaching out and collaborating with the artistic community
• Using social media effectively to build real connections
• The value of user research and creating “room to dream”
• Avoiding perfectionism and learning to experiment and take risks
