Join us as we debate housing as a human right, examining how we can achieve better, fairer housing for more Canberrans.
About this Event

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.
