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.
