RightOn – The Wednesday Web Chat
RightOn – The Wednesday Web Chat emerged amid the COVID-19 outbreak as an initiative of a consortium of partners, including the Permanent Missions of Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway, the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights and the Geneva Human Rights Platform (GHRP), the Essex Human Rights Centre, Universal Rights Group (URG), DiploFoundation and the Geneva Internet Platform (GIP), to maintain discussions on human rights issues in a timely fashion.
Gathering experts from international organisations, the private sector, academia, and the civil society, the first series of webinars tackled, in light of the global pandemic, topics ranging from online hate speech and contact tracing to rights of older persons, refugees and internally displaced persons.
