In 2016 the Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (FORUM-ASIA) celebrated its 25th Anniversary. A milestone that was celebrated with a year-long campaign that included a publication, an online version of the same, an exhibition, many social media postings and much more.
This report summarises the presentations and discussions that took place during the 25 Years FORUM-ASIA Anniversary event that kick-started the year-long celebration. The event was held at the Pridi Banomyong Institute in Bangkok, Thailand on 8 January 2016. In line with the rest of the campaign, the event focused on 25 years of promoting and protecting human rights in Asia. Over the course of the day, participants reflected on what FORUM-ASIA did over the years, what lessons were learnt, and what are the priorities for the future.
The whole event was part of FORUM-ASIA 25th anniversary campaign and will be followed by different activities throughout the year 2016. For more information, stories and videos on FORUM-ASIA 25th Anniversary, see 25.forum-asia.org
