Imagine having only 8 hours of electricity a day, not being able to drink water from the tap and saying goodbye to your children every night unsure if it is the last time.

Meet Mohammed, one of our guest speakers and a human-rights activist from Gaza. Together with Fawaz from Syria and a guest from Afghanistan who is yet unknown, he will engage the public in a detailed discussion on Human Rights issues.

Issues include education, freedom of movement, self-dermination, and the use of their mother tongue in their countries. How challenging is it to try to improve these rights and how can we in the Netherlands, both as individuals and as a country, help to improve these complicated situations?

This talk will be moderated by Jan Reinder Rosing.
