We Want To Hear From You
The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (IHREC) in partnership with the Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL) is hosting a series of human rights consultations around Ireland. This is an opportunity for you to have your voice heard and share information about human rights issues on the ground in Ireland. The information we gather will be used in reporting to the United Nations (UN) under the Universal Periodic Review (UPR). Under the UPR, Ireland’s human rights record will be examined at the UN in Geneva in spring 2016 and recommendations will be made to the Irish government on a range of human rights issues. During Ireland’s first UPR examination in 2011, matters raised at the UN included education, housing, disability rights, discrimination and much more. Your voice can help to influence the outcome of the UPR.
Join us at one of our consultations:
- Galway 16th July 2.30-4.30, NUI Galway Institute for Lifecourse and Society, Dangan, Co. Galway
- Cork 28th July, 2.30 -4.30, Áras na Laoi, Gaol Cross, Western Road, Cork
