Civic Space Under Autocracy: Tactics for Repression and Tactics for Resistance
The Human Rights Institute proudly presents our Spring event series on:
Activism Against Authoritarianism
This series is co-sponsored by: Columbia Law Students Human Rights Association, Columbia Journal of Transnational Law, and the Columbia Human Rights Law Review
We invite you to join us at our third event for a discussion with:
Mandeep Tiwana, Interim Co-Secretary General, CIVICUS
Topic: Nearly 75 % of the world’s population lives in countries with closed or repressed civic space. How do authoritarian governments repress, and what are recent global civic space trends, during this period of resurgent authoritarianism and nationalism? How do political and economic elites collude to backslide on rights and democracy? And, how are activists around the world fighting back? Join us for a conversation with Mandeep Tiwana, Interim Co-Secretary General at CIVICUS, to learn how activists are successfully advancing rights from Poland to Bangladesh.
When: Wednesday, March 26, 2025 | 12:10pm – 1:10pm
