VI edición del Festival Encuentro de Cultura y Derechos Humanos. Jornada “¿El silencio es una opción? Libertad de expresión y Lawfare

Migrations, humanitarian crises in different parts of the world, the fight against homophobia and racism are the focus of the sixth edition of the Festival Encuentro de Cultura y Derechos Humanos, which will be held in May and June in Tenerife, La Palma, Gran Canaria and La Gomera. The Cicca Cultural Centre in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria will host, on 22 May at 19:30, the conference ‘Is silence an option? Freedom of expression and Lawfare’. This festival continues to demonstrate how culture is an essential tool for reflection and the defence of people's wellbeing. With this programme, it addresses gender violence, migration and the humanitarian crisis in countries devastated by war, but there are many more areas in which human rights are violated in different parts of the world. This Festival is more necessary than ever, at a time when armed conflicts are taking place in different continents and, despite the technological and social advances of the 21st century, the most basic human rights continue to be violated.
