In Zimbabwe, civil society is facing growing restrictions, with increasing pressure on human rights groups and activists fighting for democracy, social justice and sustainable development.

As part of the “F for Freedom” campaign and Bærekraftsuka 2024, we invite you to our event: “Voices under pressure: The Role of Civil Society in Zimbabwe”. We’ll explore the challenges faced by civil society and discuss what can be done to protect their essential work.

Date: October 17th

Location: University of Bergen – Ulrike Pihls hus, room: Aktiv 2

Guest speaker: Privilege Kandira

Privilege Kandira, a former student activist from Zimbabwe, will share his experiences defending student rights under a restrictive regime and discuss global civil society challenges.

And yes – there will be pizza! Come for the conversation, stay for the engagement and pizza!
