Each year, the Oslo Freedom Forum community gathers in Norway to witness powerful stories from some of the world’s most innovative human rights defenders and advocates. But exceptional times call for exceptional measures. This year, the Oslo Freedom Forum had to do completely virtual. We reworked on this year’s theme and make the virtual conference a hit. We can proudly say we were part of Resilience 2020 amidst the pandemic.
2020 Theme Resilience
The political and health crises of the past six months have reminded us all how authoritarians use human tragedy to advance their own agendas. Corrupt regimes around the world have exploited the COVID-19 pandemic to tighten restrictions on free speech, arrest peaceful protesters, and silence activists. The courage and determination of activists and citizens alike have been tested, yet they remain resilient in the face of tyranny. Resilience is the essential attribute of today and the future.
Oslo Freedom Forum | A Human Rights Foundation event series that brings people together to expand freedom and unleash human potential.
We’re bringing the main stage experience directly to you as we gather to witness these activists sharing their personal stories with the world.
HRF created the Oslo Freedom Forum to bring the fight for freedom to the forefront of the global agenda. Each year, the event showcases the testimonies of individuals who have risked their lives for freedom. With a focus on civil and political rights, this annual gathering exemplifies the resilience and nobility of the human spirit.
Human rights activists with incredible stories.
What The Media is Saying
“A Davos for revolutionaries… Where activists who have overthrown dictatorships meet activists who want to overthrow dictatorships.”
The Guardian
“High-profile summits aren’t just for glitzy politicians and jetsetters anymore. Activists, journalists, artists and dissidents meet in Oslo to share revolutionary ideas.”
Newsweek
“A spectacular human-rights festival.”
