On March 3rd, 2017 (Friday), 13:00 – 14:00hrs, CIVICUS World Alliance for Citizen Participation will be streaming the “Backsliding on Civic Space in Democracies” on their Facebook Page. The event will provide an opportunity for the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders and civil society leaders to reflect on the global climate for civil society operating in mature democracies and articulate key measures these states must take to ensure an enabling environment for civil society and human rights defenders both at home and at the UN Human Rights Council. The event is sponsored by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Forum Asia, HRDA, IDSN, ISHR, FIDH/OMCT, and CIVICUS World Alliance for Citizen Participation. Join here.
