Join us for an event featuring former Pacific Council director and former Chair of the International Board of Trustees of Human Rights Watch, Jane T. Olson, on her latest book, World Citizen.

Background:

World Citizen is about light and hope in the midst of unimaginable human suffering in war zones and places of extreme poverty around the world. Each chapter can be read as a complete experience through the intimate details recorded by the author in journals and on film about her memorable journeys with international human rights organizations. To be a World Citizen is to embrace and champion the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, knowing that all lives are valuable and equally deserving of protection and support.
