CHRC Attends 2016 International Association of Official Human Rights Agencies (IOAHRA) Conference held in Philadelphia

CHRC staff members recently returned from Philadelphia,PA where they participated in the International Association of Official Human Rights Agencies (IOAHRA) conference. This conference convened human rights leaders from throughout the and outside of the country to discuss pressing issues such as gun violence, protection for LGBTQIA communities, racial equity, all through a human rights framework. This four day long event consisted of a variety of engaging sessions, a tour of historic Philadelphia landmarks that were sites of struggles for justice, panels, and prominent keynote speakers.

CHRC is incredibly grateful to the organizers for their enthusiasm and expertise, and is working diligently to connect the creative solutions of these important issues here locally.
