ziviktalks 2 – Paths to Peace

The Importance of Documenting Conflicts and Human Rights Violations

5 Dec 2024
13:00 - 14:15
Online via Teams

Dear partners,

Following the recent successful launch of our new online event series, we are delighted to invite you to the second edition of ‘ziviktalks’.

On 5 December 2024, the topic ‘Paths to Peace: The Importance of Documenting Conflicts and Human Rights Violations’ will be the focus of our exchange format. We all know that conflicts bring with them systematic repression and various forms of violence. Vulnerable groups are usually profoundly affected, and human rights violations are highly gender specific. It is, therefore, of great importance for any conflict resolution and advocacy work to make the conflicts and human rights violations visible. But how can complex conflicts and human rights violations be observed, documented and communicated effectively? How do organisations and their members face the many challenges and dangers on the ground? What approaches, resources, networks and media are helpful for effective advocacy work?

In our ziviktalks 2, we will talk about this with three representatives of organisations, that are active in Syria, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela.

Our guests:

  • Gina Kawas, Due Process of Law Foundation (DPLF), Washington, USA
  • Lawand Kiki, Syria Reporting Center e.V. (SRC) Berlin, Germany
  • Renata Giannini, Instituto Igarapé, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Moderator: Björn Müller-Bohlen, reflexionsinstanz, Germany
