The Human Rights Working Group presents a panel discussion on Transgender Rights Around the World, in partnership with Spectrum. In light of increasing backlash against transgender people and violations of their human rights around the world, HRWG invites the SIPA and broader Columbia community to learn more about the status of transgender rights globally. Three prominent human rights activists from the Human Rights Advocates Program at the Columbia University Institute for the Study of Human Rights will join us to provide an overview of the on-the-ground situation and their work on behalf of transgender people in Brazil, South Africa and Ethiopia. Q&A will follow the panel discussion. Lunch will be provided.
Food Provided (Food and light refreshments will provided to go.)
