There are many places and groups around the world who deserve the attention of human rights advocates. However, we would like to speak chiefly about the situation of minorities within Czech society. The focus will be on relations between majority society and minorities (including Roma, Muslims, single parents, the homeless the LGBT community), the challenges facing our society and combating prejudices and the problems that stem from those relations.

Guests: journalist Nora Fridrichová, pastor Mikuláš Vymětal, LGBT activist David Tišer, Lucia Argüellová of People in Need and Charter 77 signatory and ombudswoman Anna Šabatová.

Chaired by Lucie Vopálenská.

Organised by the Václav Havel Library in cooperation with the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren. The evening is part of the traditional White Umbrellas March held in honour of the Ladies in White movement, a Cuban opposition grouping comprising wives, mothers, sisters and daughters of political prisoners.
