Hi everyone,
In celebration of Human Rights Day
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Rights_Day>, the Human Rights Team is
excited to host a one-hour conversation focused on exploring and addressing
human rights risks, particularly for Wikimedians. This event aims to shed
light on the unique challenges faced by the volunteers and to foster a
deeper understanding of the human rights implications inherent in their
work.
Join us on 8 December 2023 at 6 pm UTC. Click the link to find your local
time <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1702058400>.
Following a brief presentation, the session will be formatted as a
community brainstorming and sharing session - participants will learn about
the human rights risks that Wikipedia faces and together we will discuss
and identify threats from different perspectives along with methods to
respond and mitigate them.
Participants will consider the following questions:
-
Why do human rights matter?
-
How does the Wikimedia Foundation advocate for and protect human
rights?
-
What is the Foundation’s Human Rights Policy and why does it matter?
Attendees are encouraged to add their questions ahead of time on the
etherpad <https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Human_Rights_Day>.
