Housing as a right: where to now?
The ACT Human Rights Commission will be holding a panel event for Human Rights Day on 10 December 2024 at 12:30pm at the National Library of Australia.
On International Human Rights Day, join us as we examine housing as a human right.
With our expert panel, we’ll unpack key questions including:
- What is included in the human right to housing?
- What role does housing play in giving children stability, reducing family violence, allowing effective rehabilitation, preventing recidivism and promoting good health?
- How do our laws need to change to better protect the right to housing?
Dr Penelope Mathew, ACT Human Rights Commission President will facilitate the discussion with panellists:
- Professor Kevin Bell AO KC, author of Housing: the Great Australian Right
- Dr Devin Bowles, CEO, ACT Council of Social Services
- Ms Genevieve Bolton OAM, Executive Director and Principal Solicitor, Canberra Community Law
- Ms Rachael Clark, Solicitor and Program Manager, Dhurrawang Aboriginal Human Rights Program, Canberra Community Law
- and Mrs Kellie Jones, who has first-hand experience of homelessness. Mrs Jones works in office management and accounting and is an Orange Sky volunteer.
This is a live event and an online link will be available soon (Note ticket NOT required if attending online.) Light refreshments served.
