The Australian Human Rights Institute at UNSW Sydney will bring together experts from various disciplines to research solutions to human rights violations in Australia and around the world. This new initiative will make a difference to communities most in need of innovative solutions.
Join ABC broadcaster Fran Kelly, actor and voice for marriage equality Magda Szubanski and hip-hop artist L-FRESH the LION for this special launch, which will introduce the Australian Human Rights Institute’s vision and mission.
A panel discussion will explore what human rights means in Australia today, and artist Dennis Golding will present a workshop where guests can participate in an artwork commissioned to mark the launch.
We hope you will join us at the newly-refurbished UNSW Roundhouse for an event that will energise our University community – celebrating the achievements we have made, and getting motivated for the work that’s ahead of us. Refreshments will be provided.
Organised by
The Australian Human Rights Institute at UNSW Sydney is dedicated to interdisciplinary research in three priority areas; business and human rights, health and human rights and gender justice.
By bringing together researchers in different disciplines, the Institute will produce innovative solutions for human rights violations. It will have a meaningful social impact, with responses to rights challenges that can be applied by governments, industries, and communities across the globe.
The Institute builds on the outstanding legacy of the Australian Human Rights Centre, which since its establishment in 1986, has increased public awareness and academic scholarship on human rights through research, public lectures and events, and publications.
