With growing concerns around social cohesion, the right to peaceful protest, housing affordability, economic inequality, and the impact of climate change and digital technologies, The Answer Is Human Rights seminar will focus on how human rights can help us address these and other challenging issues.
Presented by the Australian Human Rights Commission in partnership with the WA Equal Opportunity Commission, the seminar will feature a panel of leading national and local human rights advocates who’ll explore how better protection of human rights will make our communities safer and fairer. Revitalising Australia’s commitment to human rights at the national level will be discussed as well as proposals for addressing a range of key issues for Western Australian residents.
The seminar features a panel discussion with Curtin University School of Law Associate Professor Dr Hannah McGlade, WA Equal Opportunity Commissioner Dr John Byrne, National Children’s Commissioner Deb Tsorbaris and Australian Human Rights Commission President Hugh de Kretser.
The Seminar is a FREE event in celebration of the Australian Human Rights Commission's 40-year Anniversary Program.
