Since 1987, ISHHR has worked with programs of capacity building in different post-conflict regions every 3-5 years, followed by an International Conference on Health and Human Rights. This conference is a unique event for organizations and individuals working with mental health issues affecting people who have experienced trauma in the context of war and organized violence.

ISHHR Norway took over the assignment as ISHHR Secretariat in 2018, and a new board for ISHHR Norway was elected in 2021. Cooperating with a Local Organization Committee in Colombia, we continue to plan a year of capacity building and an international event in Bogotá.

The ISHHR Confrence has garnered local support in Colombia, and with the help of Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and The Norwegian Human Rights Fund we look forward to the 11th conference from November 21-25.

All being well, we will welcome experts and speakers from the Americas, Africa, Europe, and Asia to present, debate, and help to resolve our common global challenges.


Conversations on the way to Colombia

Loes van Wiligen, founder and Honorary President of ISHHR, suggested arranging in this time of crisis a series of webinars, alternating between English and Spanish.

These “Conversations ” could prepare the ground for our planned capacity-building and the International Conference in Colombia in 2022 in cooperation with Colombian partners.

Facilitators and front-workers from Colombia and around the world could share perspectives on their work with the final beneficiaries: women and men in Colombia and other post-conflict countries – tools for coping and healing.

So far, we have arranged four exciting and informative webinars on our way to Colombia:
