The annual Rafto Conference will shed light on and discuss human rights challenges related to Emergency Response Rooms of Sudan (ERRs) and their courageous work to preserve the most fundamental human right - the right to life.
The Emergency Response Rooms of Sudan are grassroot networks that emerged in the wake of the war in Sudan in 2023. They consist of thousands of volunteers who engage in collaborative, community driven efforts to meet urgent humanitarian needs of others, at great personal risk. The ERRs save lives and maintain human dignity in a place of misery and despair.
