CSWG Workshop: "Latin American Human Rights Defenders"
We’d like to invite you to the interactive workshop “Human rights defenders in Latin America: sharing stories and protecting legacies”, which aims to celebrate the lives of human rights and environmental activists by exploring the diversity and power of social mobilisation in Latin America and discussing the challenges faced by women activists, particularly women of colour, who are subjected to increasing State persecution and social ostracization in the pursuit of justice and equity.
The event will be held in person in the Cowling Room (S2.77) on the 6th of March, 2023, from 3-6pm. We’ll have snacks and refreshments and students and staff from all departments are welcome to join!
