How do we remain relevant in the face of today’s human rights challenges, especially as they intersect with business, technology, and global conflict?

How can we adapt advocacy strategies to specific emerging threats like digital surveillance, privacy concerns, and climate change?

What gender equality strategies have proven the most efficient in regions with systemic inequality?

The Harvard Club of France is delighted to invite you to join Amnesty International Executive Director Sylvie Brigot, to discuss how the organization addresses the current human rights challenges and explore how each of us could get involved in its missions.

This event will be interactive, with a short presentation and an interview, leaving plenty of time to exchange with Sylvie Brigot on burning questions.
