SUMMARY:The Handshake with Justin Colvard (Mercy Corps)
DESCRIPTION:Navigating your career in the world of peace & justice can be tough: with so many potential options\, causes\, and routes into the sector. Sometimes it can even be difficult to think where to begin – do I need to several internships? Does everyone need to get into ‘programme management’? And why does every UN job require a 24-page application form? \n\n\n\nThat’s why The Hague Peace & Justice Talent Hub is launching ‘The Handshake’: an event series where we invite senior figures from the world for peace & justice to join in conversation and reveal how they’ve ended up where they are! You’ll have the chance to ask questions\, get insights\, and be inspired.  \n\n\n\nThis second edition features Justin Colvard\, global Strategic Response Manager with Mercy Corps\, on September 13 (17:00 – 19:00) at The Hague Humanity Hub! \n\n\n\nAttendance is free\, but space is limited\, so make sure to grab your spot quickly! \n\n\n\n\nSign up here!

SUMMARY:ICCT to Host - Victims of terrorism and their right to access justice: Challenges and solutions
DESCRIPTION:International Centre for Counter-Terrorism is hosting a panel discussion on victims of terrorism and their right to access justice.  \n\n\n\nVictims’ right to access to justice is a fundamental human right and a principle of the rule of law. To exercise this right\, States have the obligation to provide adequate avenues for victims to access the judicial system and have their cases heard before a competent jurisdiction. How can these obstacles be resolved? How can the experiences\, perspectives and priorities of victims be (best) considered during the investigation and trial process? And what are the victims’ experiences with the judicial system? These are some of the questions to answer in order to facilitate victims’ fight to access justice. The following panellists will discuss these and other questions: Niki Siampakou This link opens in a new tab\, Jeanne Sulzer This link opens in a new tab\, Hope Rikkelman This link opens in a new tab\, Catherine Marchi-Uhel This link opens in a new tab \n\n\n\n\nMore Info Here!

SUMMARY:#DemocracyDrinks – Disrupting democracies
DESCRIPTION:Join us on 26 September for our monthly #DemocracyDrinks.   \n\n\n\nFor this next edition of the #DemocracyDrinks we want to reflect on some of the geopolitical dimensions between Russia and the EU. In the previous edition we focused on what we can do to protect our civic space and strengthen our democracies. Now we are zooming out and looking at the tensions on democracies by foreign states.   \n\n\n\nOur guest speaker will be Amy Eaglestone\, PhD researcher at the University of Birmingham who will speak about her research which focuses on the role of political parties in democracy reform in the Eastern European Neighborhood. This year she has also been working with the KPSRL on a project about responses to polarization in the region. She will also discuss the geopolitical relationship between the EU and Russia.  \n\n\n\nJoin the discussion on September 26th at the Hague Humanity Hub.   \n\n\n\nWhat are #DemocracyDrinks?  \n\n\n\nOur #DemocracyDrinks bring together democracy advocates\, thinkers and enthusiasts to connect in an informal setting.  \n\n\n\nAs a valuable opportunity for networking\, the event will be all about making new contacts and catching up with people you know. You can test new ideas; plan common initiatives; and find moral support and inspiration.  \n\n\n\n#DemocracyDrinks were launched by Defend Democracy This link opens in a new tab in Brussels in 2018. And\, since then\, the idea has taken off. #DemocracyDrinks have taken place around the world\, including in Washington DC\, Berlin\, Kathmandu and\, since last year\, The Hague.  \n\n\n\nOur previous #DemocracyDrinks in The Hague have attracted a lively mixture of people from NGOs\, international institutions\, think tanks and national government\, among others.  \n\n\n\nThe event series in The Hague is a collaboration between the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy This link opens in a new tab (NIMD)\, the Netherlands Helsinki Committee  This link opens in a new tab(NHC) and The Hague Humanity Hub This link opens in a new tab.   \n\n\n\n\nSign up here!

SUMMARY:WO=MEN Dutch Gender Platform - Gender MPI: Werk Maken van Politieke Participatie (Dutch Event)
DESCRIPTION:Verandering begint met actie. In navolging van het thema van SDG Action Week 2023 – Act Together Now – gaat het Gender Meer Partijen Initiatief (Gender MPI) graag met jullie in debat over politiek leiderschap van vrouwen en meiden in al hun diversiteit\, om te bespreken wat de politiek en wij hiervoor kunnen doen! Met een schuin oog op de nieuwe Tweede Kamerverkiezingen. Want woensdag 22 november komt snel dichterbij.  \n\n\n\nHet evenement wordt geco-host door Tweede Kamerleden Songül Mutluer This link opens in a new tab (PvdA) en Derk Boswijk This link opens in a new tab (CDA)\, met de moderatie in handen van Laila Ait Baali\, directeur WO=MEN Dutch Gender Platform. Tijdens twee paneldiscussies gaan we dieper in op politieke participatie vanuit zowel de nationale als internationale blik\, met sprekers zoals Carline van Breugel (Kandidaat Kamerlid D66)\, Shirodj Raghoenath (Emancipator) en Husna Jalal (Afghaanse vrouwenrechtenactiviste). \n\n\n\nVragen die aan bod zullen komen zijn: hoe kunnen we de barrières doorbreken waar vrouwen in al hun diversiteit in Nederland tegenaanlopen om politiek actief te zijn? Wat is nodig voor een betere representatie van vrouwen en meiden bij besluitvorming gericht op bijvoorbeeld klimaatonderhandelingen of vredesprocessen?   \n\n\n\n\nMeer Informatie Hier!
