Ruiz, the Senior DEDI Education & Communication Advisor at York University’s Centre of Human Rights, Equity, and Inclusion. Carol shares her insights on consent, feminist theory in law, and how Canadian standards compare globally, while bringing a unique perspective that blends legal expertise with her passion for stand-up comedy. With a background in teaching law and gender studies in the Philippines and at the University of Toronto, and her work on feminist legal reforms, she offers a unique perspective that challenges traditional legal frameworks.
