On Friday, March 7, a significant discussion will take place focusing on the challenges and opportunities that human rights defenders encounter due to the rapid advancement of technology. As new technologies emerge, they present both innovative tools for advocacy and potential threats to the safety and rights of defenders.
Human rights defenders are increasingly facing rights violations that are facilitated by technology, such as surveillance, cyber-attacks, and online harassment. These issues complicate their work and can deter them from advocating for justice and accountability. The dialogue aims to highlight these pressing concerns while exploring potential strategies to enhance the protection of defenders in this evolving landscape.
Participants will engage in conversations about how technology can be harnessed to promote human rights, as well as the importance of developing robust frameworks to safeguard defenders from emerging threats. This gathering promises to be a pivotal moment for those committed to advancing human rights in an increasingly digital world.
