Mark Your Calendars: October Human Rights Events Break New Ground

Check out these three exciting human rights conferences coming up in October:

First, on October 5, the Center for Human Rights at University of Washington School of Law presents “Access to Information as a Human Right.” Grounded in the UW CHR’s partnerships with organizations and communities struggling for truth and accountability in post-war El Salvador, the conference will explore the right to access to information as a frontline of transnational campaigns for justice. More information is available here.

Second, on October 9-11, the University of Washington School of Law will host a conference on The Human Right to Family Planning.  Billed as the first conference of its kind, the event will bring together “advocates, doctors, nurses, lawyers, public health professionals, pharmacists, politicians, academics, researchers, NGOs, donors and others working to ensure family planning services are guaranteed for all people!”  For more information, click here.

Third, on October 16-17, the University of Chicago’s Pozen Family Center on Human Rights sponsors a conference titled “Human Trafficking, Labor Migration, & Migration Control in Comparative Historical Perspective.”  Information on speakers and registration is available here.
