Communication and Human Rights Meeting

ABSTRACT

Presentation of the “Portable Manual of Communication and Human Rights”, by Daniela Fernandez of the INDH and panel discussion with Magdalena Browne, Roberto Herrsher, Ignacio López and Camila Díaz.

VioDemos, along with the UC Justice and Society Studies Center, and the Millennium Institute Foundational Research on Data invite you to this meeting to learn and reflect on the need to communicate with a human rights approach.

This meeting will address issues such as the importance of communicating with a human rights approach and whether it is feasible to do so. Political correctness in the language will also be discussed and whether this is enough or a formal imposition that bothers; why communicators should integrate respect for human rights in their content and what are the axes of responsible and respectful communication.
