Oil, Human Rights and Women

Abstract

The theme of this year's “Chapter Festival" is the impact of oil. The question of whether the oil is a blessing or a curse is increasingly topical. In this regard, it is natural for Amnesty to bring in the question of human rights. How are human rights - and women's rights in particular, taken care of? Presenters: Emem J. Okon , women and environment activist from the Delta region in Nigeria (on tape) Beate Ekeløve-Slydal , political advisor in Amnesty International Øystein Kristiansen , Norwegian Petroleum Directorate and the Oil for Development programme Inge Amundsen , Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI) Lars Tarald Kvam , communication manager, Statoil Chair: Kristin Aahlen , journalist, Stavanger Aftenblad
