At the Crossroads:
Driving Integrated Action for a Resilient Future
We’re thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the 2025 Human Rights and Humanitarian Forum taking place at the UCLA Luskin Conference Center on Wednesday, May 7th!
At a time of intensifying global challenges, the 2025 Human Rights and Humanitarian Forum seeks to spark new, integrated approaches to tackling these issues. Hosted by The Promise Institute for Human Rights in partnership with the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative, the Forum will bring together eminent thinkers, frontline humanitarians, academics, legal advocates, and emerging leaders committed to advancing human dignity, justice, and sustainable peace.
Featured speakers include UCLA professors and scholars Safiya Noble and Anna Spain Bradley, Aurora Prize Laureates Marguerite Barankitse, Mirza Dinnayi, and Julienne Lusenge, as well as Aurora Prize Selection Committee Members Chelsea Clinton, Leymah Gbowee, Dele Olojede, and John Prendergast — among others.
By convening diverse voices under one roof, the Forum aims to seed lasting partnerships, inspire innovative solutions, and move us from “business as usual” towards a future where respect for human rights and effective humanitarian action go hand in hand.
