You are cordially invited to a pivotal side-event on the margins of the 60th session of the Human Rights Council.
Following our previous discussion at the 58th session on the threats to minorities, this conference continues our focus on the Indo-Mediterranean and South Asian axis, examining the human cost of geopolitical instability and rising extremism.
Event Title: The Global Ripple Effect: Women and Children as Primary Victims of Extremism from South Asia to Europe
Date: Tuesday, 1 October 2024

In a globally interconnected world, the effects of extremism originating in hotspots like South Asia, Somalia, and Yemen are felt socially, economically, and politically across continents.
