Today marks the 25th Ann’ of the Declaration on #HumanRightsDefenders. Let’s remember the courageous athletes that stand up for human rights. As United Nations Geneva Volker Türk said: “When athletes speak out, they are human rights defenders, and require our support and solidarity.”

With the Olympics on the horizon, join us as we ask elite athletes and leading experts… where do human rights and sport intersect? Join the conversation on 18 April @bruneluni, with Ginous Alford, Eniola Aluko, Hélène Ba, Joanna Maranhão, and UN Special Rapporteur Cultural Rights ow.ly/No0750RcEMG
