An opportunity to present in UK Parliament |
At the beginning of December, our UK Parliamentary Liaison Officer Chibuzor hosted an excellent event with the APPG for International Freedom of Religion or Belief. The APPG is a cross-party group of parliamentarians. It was another key opportunity to champion this human right in Parliament. Chibuzor and CSW colleagues challenged attendees with stories of how impunity is affecting the lives of religious and belief groups across the world, from Mexico to Nigeria to Pakistan, and encouraged them to address it. Impunity means that individuals, groups, or governments are not held to account for the violations and abuses they commit. This encourages and perpetuates the injustices faced by countless individuals and communities. The event was a resounding success, and we look forward to working closely with key parliamentarians in 2024 translating recommendations into concrete action. |
