EquiTalks: Economic Prosperity & Human Rights

Published in

Listen to a live panel of experts exploring the powerful intersection between economic prosperity and human rights, and how these two dimensions reinforce each other in building a more just and sustainable future. 

Sustainable prosperity cannot be achieved without guaranteeing human rights, which promote social stability, civic participation, reduced inequalities, and fair, inclusive workplaces. The event will bring together panelists from diverse backgrounds — human rights advocates, and leaders from the business and finance sectors. EquiTalks offers a unique space to reflect, learn, and take action for human rights. 

On Thursday, November 13, 2025, join us for an inspiring discussion on the vital connections between equity, prosperity, and human dignity.
