Rights & Democracy’s President, Jean-Louis Roy, will speak on behalf of the organization and its efforts in the promotion of human rights and democracy in the developing world and will introduce the winner of the 2004 John Humphrey Freedom Award, Godeliève Mukasarasi. Ms. Mukasarasi is a 1994 Rwandan genocide survivor who has made incredible efforts to advance human rights and democracy and will be speaking about her experience and her organization SEVOTA.
During the Global Youth Assembly, the Rights & Democracy Network will host a workshop facilitated by Laval University professor Richard Ouellet and two former students called Globalia.
