What do funders do when rights collide? Our opening plenary session will examine the quandary of conflicting rights, taking examples from women’s rights, freedom of expression, and LGBT rights. Do some rights get privileged over others?

Join dynamic workshops and discussions on:

  • Surveillance at home and abroad
  • The role of human rights funders in pre- and post-conflict situations
  • Links between financial regulation and human rights
  • Lessons from trans* groups on supporting nascent movements
  • Non-grantmaking strategies for grantmakers
  • Youth leadership and organizing
