SPHR 2021
#SPHR 2021 convened December 2-4, 2021 to address the challenges and opportunities the pandemic has created for human rights advocacy. We considered whether current human rights methods, strategies, and approaches are comprehensive, deep, and bold enough to meet this moment and what is needed to leverage this moment for improved human rights outcomes. And we grappled with how we, as a human rights community, can address the new perils and potentials of this time.
