3/6/2026

This event is for Forum members and guests.
 

Ticket Information

Members: FREE
Non-Members: $25.00
 

Program Information

The Issues Exploration Committee is excited to invite you to our Human Rights Summit Kick-off Meeting, a 90-minute virtual session designed to set the stage for future, in-person sessions focused on Healthcare, Housing, and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG).

This session will:

  • Introduce the summit vision and objectives

  • Feature expert speakers to highlight key focus areas

  • Include interactive breakout discussions on Healthcare, Housing, and ESG

The Issues Exploration committee is committed to curating experiences to deep dive into Human Rights topics over the next two fiscal years. We will be guided by the principles in the mission statement below:

Human rights are the fundamental freedoms and protections that belong to every individual, and for women, these rights must include equitable access to healthcare, housing, safety, economic opportunity, and reproductive autonomy. 

Our work recognizes that feminism, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging and intersectionality are essential lenses through which we examine human rights issues. 


We are committed to fostering civil discourse around the regional challenges women face, while honoring the diverse experiences that shape their lives. Through inclusive education and dialogue, we aim to advance understanding and action toward a more just and equitable society for all women.


Your insights and contributions are important for the full summit experience and ensure meaningful impact.
