David Kato Memorial Lecture

The LGBTQ Network at the University of York Students’ Union (YUSU) have organised the inaugural David Kato Memorial Lecture for 18:30 on Monday 10 November. David Kato was a human rights defender who campaigned for LGBT rights in his home country of Uganda. David was part of the Centre for Applied Human Rights in 2010, but was murdered after returning to his country in 2011.

The inaugural lecture will be delivered by Katsiaryna Borsuk, a current member of the Centre for Applied Human Rights and a campaigner for LGBT rights in her home country of Belarus. For more information, see the Facebook event page.
