HUMAN RIGHTS WEEK

The Human Rights Week events are about celebrating human rights, drawing attention to areas of concern and bringing the community together to recognise and foster a culture of respect for human rights.

The events focus on many areas of human rights such as the environment, torture, the 60th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights, and local and international issues.

Events for this year's Human Rights Week are to be advised.
