The Swedish Human Rights Forum

Since 2000, the Swedish Foundation for Human Rights has been one of the main organisers of the annual Swedish Human Rights Forum. The Swedish Human Rights Forum is a collaborative initiative involving six different civil society organisations and two academic institutions. Föreningen Ordfront is the Forum's principal. The organising group also includes Sensus Studieförbund, Amnesty, DemokratiAkademin, Enskilda Högskolan Stockholm, Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Göteborgs Universitet and Svenska Kyrkan.  

The Human Rights Forum (MR-Dagarna) is a non-profit initiative, and the main organisers are responsible for the content and the various strategic issues from year to year. At the Forum, civil society organisations, researchers, volunteers, politicians and public authorities, among others, come together. The Forum therefore serves as an important meeting place, aiming to be a platform for inspiration, debate, capacity-building and networking on human rights. This is unique, as there is no equivalent forum of its kind in the Nordic countries.  

The theme for 2025 was “The Defining Issues for Everyone’s Human Rights.”
