IAW Foundation would like to congratulate our member, supporter, and speaker,
Honorable Judge Tamila Ipema
for her involvement at the International Summit on Human Trafficking and Organized Crimes.
The National Association of Women Judges' President-Elect, Judge Tamila Ebrahimi Ipema of San Diego County Superior Court was invited by Pope Francis and "Pontifical Academy of Sciences" at the Vatican to join fifty-nine other women judges from across the world to present at the International Summit on Human Trafficking and Organized Crimes on November 9 and 10, 2017. There were a total of five delegates from the United States in attendance at the summit.
This summit was organized to bring together jurists from all around the world who are actively involved in the detection, awareness, training and education of human trafficking issues in their respective countries. During this two-day summit, the international judges had an opportunity to share their experiences and their best practices. The goal of the summit was to create a greater global awareness of this epidemic that has no boundaries; to find solutions to the current issues that we all face in the world through sharing of the information, collaboration, and open dialogue; and to brainstorm and come up with the best practices. It is anticipated that a Resolution will be presented to the United Nations as to the best practices.

In 2015, Deeba Zivari was named a "
change maker
" among esteemed New York alumni of the Wellesley College. Inspired by the Iranian myth of Scheherazade & propelled by the idea that our built environment is manifested by story & that anyone who can tell a story can transform one, she pursued the study of trans-national communications. True to the belief, this pursuit would come to transform her own trajectory from a storyteller with a pen into a storyteller by brick & mortar. In 2013 she advanced her Comparative Literature degree with a Master's degree in Narrative Medicine from Columbia University. Read more about Deeba Zivari here.
