Representatives from Human Rights Houses in Eastern & Western Europe, the Caucasus and the Balkans will gather in the Serbian capital, at Human Rights House Belgrade.

The Assembly, held every two years, is an opportunity for Human Rights Houses and their members to reconnect with international colleagues, to plan collaboration, projects and support, and to share experiences.

The Assembly will provide the opportunity to address the successes and the common challenges faced by Human Rights Houses, defenders, and organisation through a series of joint discussions, presentations, and activities. External experts will also participate in these sessions, bringing their expertise on the challenges faced and how to overcome them.

The Assembly also acts as a celebration of the network of Human Rights Houses: of their efforts and successes, and of the solidarity and support that make the work of the Human Rights Houses possible.

Ukrainian civil society organisations have mobilised to provide critical support to those in need while often needing support themselves. HRHF asked the partners from the Network of Human Rights Houses about the connection between mental health and human rights and what kind of role mental health support plays in the resilience of Ukrainian civil society.
