Our colleague Almudena Álvarez attended May 15-17 the most attended ever Half-Year Conference of AIJA (International Association of Young Lawyers) which took place in elegant Milano. More than 530 lawyers from all around the world gathered to network and discuss the last legal trends. She attended the Human Rights Commission Meeting for the first time, which addressed important issues such as the needed protection of the rule of law, and, of course, our regular Employment and Labor Law Commission Meeting. Grazie mille to the entire Organizing Committee and AIJA team for their efforts in organizing such a wonderful event!​

Our colleagues Lucía Castelao and Inés López carried out a training session at HOGAR SÍ on labor law applicable to the daily lives of people facing social exclusion due to homelessness. Among other topics, we addressed: (i) the right of workers to free legal representation, (ii) key elements of employment contracts, (iii) types of dismissal and how to challenge them, and (iv) unemployment benefits. Once again, we would like to highlight the essential work carried out by the RAIS Foundation with those who need it most and thank them for allowing us to be part of it.
