The event aims to reflect on human rights and democracy in the past decades and identify emerging trends and issues in socio-political-economic contexts in Asia. Eventually, the event will help to develop a collective vision and explore ways to create more synergetic impact on the human rights and democracy movement in the future.

  • A time-line of significant moments, achievements and activities in the last decades of the Asian human rights and democracy movement;
  • An overview of lessons learned and best practices based on the above mentioned time-line;
  • A list of case-studies/examples of work done by the human rights and democracy movement that showcase these lessons learned and best practices;
  • A priority list of issues, challenges and opportunities for the human rights and democracy movement of Asia in the coming decades; and
  • Suggestions and ideas for strategies and activities to confront the above mentioned issues, challenges and opportunities, based on the lessons learned and best practices from the past.
