Wehad a productive conversation at the German Federal Foreign Office with Regine Hess, Head of Division E& H of Africa &; Janina Zensus, Counselor of the Federal Government Commissioner for HRiP & HA. We expressed hope for strategic cooperation to consolidate existing relations
We gained insights from social movements in #Nigeria, #Senegal, and #Tunisia, leading into reflections on: 1) Global democracy backlash and its effect on rights. 2) Countering anti-rights movements and their influence. 3) The impact of AI and emerging tech on these rights.
We delved into enhancing the meaningful participation of trade unions, social movements and climate justice activists in decision-making. This involved identifying local, regional, and global opportunities to overcome barriers and advance effective participation in policy-making!
