Human Rights House Foundation’s 2020 “Portraits of Strength” photography exhibition honours and celebrates eight independent women human rights defenders from the network of Human Rights Houses. It highlights the vital role that women play locally, nationally and internationally in protecting and advancing human rights.

The first exhibition was held at the Human Rights Human Wrongs international documentary film festival in Oslo from 24-29 February 2020. Representing the Human Rights House Belgrade, it was exhibited a portrait of Sonja Toskovic, executive director of Belgrade Centre for Human Rights, member organization of HRH Belgrade.

“I sincerely believe that each society must have strong civil society organizations and individuals who are brave enough to face the authorities, fight for the rule of law and democracy, and share the culture of human rights.ˮ
