2019 Carter Center Human Rights Defenders Forum, Part 2/3

Dozens of activists, peacemakers, and community leaders from 28 countries came together Oct. 12-15 for the Carter Center’s 12th Human Rights Defenders Forum.

Three sessions, including a 15-minute Q&A with former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, were livestreamed on Tuesday, Oct. 15.

Session topics included global protection for activists, challenges for women defenders and peacemakers, and the importance of mutually supporting civil, economic, political, and social rights.

Founded in 1982 by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter in partnership with Emory University, The Carter Center is committed to advancing human rights and alleviating unnecessary human suffering. The Center wages peace, fights disease, and builds hope worldwide.
