This webinar brings together leading activists and human rights law experts to discuss the the racism, discrimination, and injustice faced by Papuan people and compare the similarities to those experienced by First Nations peoples in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
Hosted in partnership with Amnesty International Indonesia and Amnesty International Aotearoa New Zealand, the panel discussion and Q&A session will be an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the human rights abuses occurring in Papua. We will also discuss what the Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand governments and public can do to pressure the Indonesian government to address the problems in Papua and protect human rights.
