Dear students,
UCIS Masterclass: Human Rights advocacy ‘an uphill battle behind the scenes’
On 28 October Boris Dittrich, Advocacy Director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights Programme at Human Rights Watch will give a UCIS Masterclass. Dittrich, former party leader of D66 in the Netherlands was the driving force behind the introduction of same-sex marriage and adoption bills in the Netherlands, making it the first country to open its civil marriage for gays and lesbians. Dittrich will touch upon the role of human rights advocacy worldwide and will give his inside view on this uphill battle behind the scenes working towards this. He will conclude by giving advice on job opportunities in the NGO sector.
UCIS Masterclasses are led by prominent figures who will share their personal knowledge and insights on a relevant topic. They are meant to be less formal, with Chatham House Rules applying.
