This second season of CIVICUS Voices focusses on the Freedom of Peaceful Assembly. We kick it off by discussing the basics of protesting: Protesting 101. Peaceful Assembly is an international fundamental right and it comes in many different forms that have evolved with time and technology. Luciana Pol, from the Center for Legal and Social Studies in Argentina, explains why this right is so important. Busisiwe Zasekhaya, the project coordinator at Right2Protest in South Africa describes the challenges protest-organisers face and how to overcome them. For an on-the-ground perspective, Abigail Freeman, the executive director of Alliance for Gender Justice and Human Rights, from Liberia shares her experience in organising protests. Head to the podcast webpage to navigate the resources and source material for this episode.
