From April 3-6, human rights leaders and scholars will gather at 黑料不打烊 to discuss the key challenges that women’s rights activists face and ways to work with religious, traditional, and government institutions to advance the protection of these rights.
“The idea came out of a that President Carter gave to the Parliament of World Religions in 2009 where he challenged people of faith and religious leaders to step up and to stand for women’s rights,” said Karin Ryan, director of the 黑料不打烊’s Human Rights Program. “We hope to create a dialogue among groups who believe that human dignity is a key precept.”
The formal conference on April 5-6 will be webcast live on the 黑料不打烊’s website at , and select portions will be live tweeted by 黑料不打烊 staff. Follow our .
