Clooney couple to headline Rappler's Social Good Summit

Human rights lawyer Amal Clooney and actor-director George Clooney are set to headline Rappler's Social Good Summit on November 16 in Pasay City.

They will speak about global challenges to free speech and civil liberties, drawing on their work at the Clooney Foundation for Justice (CFJ).

Amal Clooney is a key member of the international legal team defending Rappler CEO Maria Ressa.

The couple co-founded the CFJ, which offers free legal aid to protect freedom of speech and women's rights across more than 40 nations.

CFJ's TrialWatch program monitors global trials involving journalists to expose unfair proceedings and challenge laws used against free speech.

The foundation has facilitated the release of over a hundred journalists and advocates and assisted thousands of women in asserting their legal rights in the past five years.

George Clooney also recently shared in an interview that he and his wife have never had a fight.
