Prof Siobhán Mullally is Established Professor of Human Rights Law and Director of the Irish Centre for Human Rights (ICHR) at University of Galway. She also holds the role of UN Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children. Recognising inequality from a young age, she sought solutions through her research and work across the globe in contexts of conflict and injustice. As the Irish Centre for Human Rights celebrates its 25th birthday, Siobhán takes Cois Coiribe to the heart of the Centre, explaining the real-world impact that human rights researchers have against struggles for justice, in conflict settings, and in dark times. She takes us through her vision for the Centre, its legacy, and its future. 

The Irish Centre for Human Rights has acted as a foundation for successful careers for law and policy professionals the world over. One such individual is Dr Fidelma Donlon, Registrar at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers. In this Cois Coiribe article, we explore her time with the University, and her motivations to become involved in this area of practice.
