Rose Mukhar

Founder, Executive Director, and Principal Attorney

Rose is a social justice, human rights and crime victims' rights attorney with experience in cases involving children, women, refugees, and survivors of domestic violence, torture, and human trafficking. Her probono practice specialized in providing direct legal services to trafficked survivors, including immigration relief, legal advocacy of crime victim’s rights, expungement of criminal records, divorce, custody and restraining orders. Modeled after her probono practice, Rose created Justice At Last to expand the legal services and outreach she provides. Rose is inspired and driven by the strength, courage and grace of her clients.

Rose earned an LL.M. degree in International Legal Studies, with a focus on human rights, and her J.D. from Golden Gate University School of Law in San Francisco, and spent the summer of 2012 studying the prosecution of war criminals and war crimes involving child combatants in The Hague, Netherlands, through American University, Washington College of Law. It was during her graduate law studies that Rose realized that child soldiering is a form of human trafficking during armed conflicts and this inspired her to serve survivors of all forms of human trafficking and in particular with commercially sexually exploited children (CSEC) and children that are labor trafficked.

Rose also earned an M.A. in International Relations from the United States International University, and an B.A. in Political Science from Wellesley College.
