Hear the Women: Experiences from Women Human Rights Defenders on the 75th Anniversary of the UNUDHR

*** Women human rights defenders (WHRDs) are undeniably some of the most fiercest, bravest and influential defenders of rights and promoters of peace and justice. They play a critical role in upholding rights within the UNDHR and often are at high risk for doing so. Join Sustainable Human Empowerment (SHE) Associates, the Women Peace and Security Network (WPSN) Canada, and MP Heather McPherson on Canada's Parliament Hill as they delve into a discussion with three internationally recognized WHRDs from Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan. Recording date: 6 December, 2023 This talk was part of the Ignite Change Global Convention, a 10-day commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
