Human Rights Day Symposium 2026
Description
Claim Your Rights: Human Rights Day 2026
Join B-HART for a free community event about your human rights. Learn about making choices, taking part in decisions and asking for what you need.
You can come to Prospect Library or watch the event live on YouTube. Free tickets are available for both options.
This event is for people with disability. Families, friends, carers, support workers, advocates and anyone interested in human rights are welcome.
You do not need to know about human rights before you come. We will share stories and practical information about rights in everyday life.
The How to Claim Your Human Rights initiative is proudly funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. This event is part of that project.

About the project
B-HART leads the How to Claim Your Human Rights project with six partner organisations. People with disability help create the resources by sharing their experiences and ideas.
The project is developing information and tools to help people understand their rights and take action. These include examples of everyday situations and words people can use when asking for what they need.
The event will also introduce the Every Right Counts awareness campaign. You may see it written online as #EveryRightCounts.
