Paul Taylor Social Justice Symposium scheduled for April 7-8, 2026, will revisit the "Justice for the Women of Juarez” 2006 symposium, where families of feminicide victims, scholars, journalists, lawyers, human rights defenders, and others will discuss what developments have taken place over twenty years to end and address gender-based violence and feminicides. The two-day symposium taking place at Corbett Center, will consist of four panels each day, with a keynote each day followed by an ending event at the Corbett Center Outdoor Stage. Mexico City based documentarian, Carlos Perez Osorio will serve as a keynote showing his film, The Three Deaths of Marisela Escobedo.
