Human Rights Dinner 2014 - Sydney & Melbourne

With our friends at Justice Connect, we are delighted to be hosting the Annual Human Rights Dinner 2014.

This year the dinner will be held in both Melbourne and Sydney.

The Human Rights Dinner is a fantastic night for those passionate about human rights and access to justice. Join us to celebrate achievements and renew our energy to tackle the challenges that lie ahead. It’s also an important fundraiser for the Human Rights Law Centre and Justice Connect.

We are very excited to have Hina Jilani as our international guest speaker, a pioneering international human rights lawyer, a pro-democracy campaigner and a leading activist in Pakistan’s women’s movement.

Ms Jilani founded Pakistan’s first all-women law firm, its first legal aid centre and its national Human Rights Commission. She was awarded the Millennium Peace Prize for Women in 2001 and was the UN’s Special Representative on Human Rights Defenders between 2000-2008. Last year Ms Jilani was elected to join the International Commission of Jurists and she is also a member of the group of respected global leaders known as The Elders. We are absolutely delighted to have Ms Jilani as our guest speaker and hope you can share this special opportunity with us to hear first-hand from such an inspirational human rights champion.
