HRHN Conference:
Members of the Human Rights House Network (HRHN) meet every second year to adopt strategic HRHN documents, discuss further HRHN development, share their knowledge and experience and create new joint projects. Each year, HRHN holds an international human rights conference on the most urgent human rights issues of the time.
In 2014, this Conference is organised in Kyiv on 26 November, a year after the beginning of EuroMaidan. HRHN members gather in Chernihiv the 24-25 November for HRHN’s Assembly.
