The Oxford Human Rights Festival, which is hosted by the Centre for Development and Emergency Practice, Oxford Brookes University is back for its 23rd instalment.
Over the past 20 years, this festival has used its platform to shed light on the importance of Human Rights through engaging programmes consisting of films, performances, talks, exhibitions, poetry, forms of art and more.
This year's festival's theme is 'Power of the People'. The theme aims to emphasise the power of the civil society groups and social movements to drive change through voices of the marginalised and affirming solidarities to these voices towards towards fulfilling of the universal Human Rights of all.
It aims to inspire conversations and actions that foster connections, empathy, and collaboration among individuals, social action groups and communities, fostering a platform for solidarity and change. Every person can champion human rights locally and globally while encouraging dialogue and collective mobilisation for justice in Oxford and beyond, towards a more equitable and just world.
