Wonderful to see the amount of interest in World Refugee Day events on Tuesday 20th June coming up! Amnesty have been busy organising a conference for the evening. At 7pm, we have a really exciting line up of speakers in Amnesty’s Response and Responsibility conference in the Galway 2020 Community hub.
An impressive line-up of speakers, including Pippa Woolnough of the Immigrant council of Ireland, Lt. Stuart Donaldson of the Irish Navy, Luke Hamilton of the Irish Refugee Council, activist Holly Hughes, who has worked in Dunkirk in the refugee camps, and Dr. Conor Kenny of Médecins Sans Frontières will address some of the responses to the refugee crisis, and explore how human rights instruments can be used to push governments and decision makers to take greater responsibility.
Galway Bay FM recently did an interview with Amnesty Galway Events Secretary Siddhi Joshi about the event on the day before World Refugee Day:
