Open Call for Human Rights Conference Fellowship Program

BELGRADE – Civil rights defenders offer a limited number of scholarships to representatives and activists of human rights organizations who would otherwise be unable to attend the Conference for financial or other reasons. The fellowship program was created to expand the mission of the Conference to work to build the capacity of regional and international activists working on issues relevant to LGBTI+ people.

For the International Human Rights Conference 2022, the scholarships will support full participation in all sessions of the Conference from September 13 to 16, 2022, travel and accommodation costs, as well as access to other Pride Week events and the Pride Parade. Recipients will be expected to share their experiences and knowledge gained from the conference and other Pride events within their local organizations and communities following their attendance at the conference.

“Participants are selected on the basis of their previous professional experience in the field of human rights, their commitment to human rights and their demonstrated ability to contribute to the improvement of the situation of people LGBTI+ in their country,” said Civil Rights Defenders. The deadline for applications is July 31, 2022.
