Women from Georgia in Austria - Information and Resources Related to Hate Crimes:  Report on the Workshop/Cultural Event

Much research shows that women from refugee or migrant communities are less likely to advocate for themselves or assert their human rights and other legal protections, despite experiencing serious human rights violations in Austria, in their home countries, or en route to Austria. They do not fully understand the legal system or how to access support, which leads to stress, fear, and isolation. It also results in many refugee and migrant women and their communities being subjected to human rights violations.

In der neuesten Ausgabe der Kitchen Talks begrüßt Moderatorin Yvonne Gaspar die Direktorin des International Institute For Peace (IIP), Mag. Stephanie Fenkart. Nach einem einjährigen Aufenthalt in Südamerika entschied sich die Vorarlbergerin für die Studienrichtung Internationale Entwicklung, die nur in Wien angeboten wurde. Die transdisziplinäre Natur des Studiums brachte sie schließlich zum Thema Menschenrechte, zu dem sie ein Masterstudium abschloss. Seit dieser Zeit hat sich vor allem die Wahrnehmung der ökologischen Menschenrechte (Recht auf sauberes Wasser, intakte Umwelt etc) verbessert, vor allem durch die zunehmende Relevanz der Klimakrise.

IIP TALK with Robert Hunter on 2022 NATO Summit 🎬

Ambassador Robert Hunter served as US-ambassador to NATO (1993-95). In this role he participated in the NATO-Summit in Madrid 1997. He explains what changed since then. He talks whether NATO-expansion was a good idea. He speaks about the danger of incidents along the Finnish-Russian border when Finland will be NATO-member. According to the NATO’s 2022 Strategic Concept, cyber-, space and hybrid operations as well as terrorism would invoke NATO’s security promises (Art. V). This for the first time incudes China. Robert Hunter discusses these NATO’s new global commitments. He observes that the Strategic Concept does not mention arms control, diplomatic initiatives for Ukraine and the Iran Nuclear Talks (JCPOA). He advocates a future cooperative European security system.
