This year’s theme, United Nations 2022 Rights at Risk, reflects our stark global realities in which we see human rights in jeopardy on a daily basis. Joined by a number of engaging speakers this year, we unpack how UN processes attempt to tackle our global realities from Ukraine to anti-human rights organizing, while also uplifting the work of the Fall 2021 Kahane UN Cohort!

Join us for a conversation that will explore some of the topics that meet with resistance by governments within the UN system and at national levels. This resistance is also shaped by contexts of global extremist anti-UN, anti-gender and anti-human rights organizing. So – how do activists keep their “eyes on the prize” amidst the swirling political chaos?
