Over 50 organisations to attend Annual Convening

From 27 to 29 September 2022, representatives from over 50 organisations from over 35 countries, will gather in Stellenbosch, South Africa, for the Campaign’s Annual Convening to explore the theme: “Decriminalising Status and Activism”. The meeting, hosted by Stellenbosch University (SU), will provide a unique opportunity for campaign members to learn lessons from successful litigation and advocacy approaches; explore emerging themes around the criminalization of status and activism; and develop trans-regional, multi-national and national litigation and advocacy strategies. A photo exhibition, ‘Residue and Ruin’ installed in the university’s historic Faculty of Law site, will also be launched by Stellenbosch University’s Chancellor, Justice Edwin Cameron, to draw attention to the real human cost of these discriminatory laws on a global scale.
