Recorded December 10th, 2025.

Each year, December 10th is recognised globally as Human Rights Day. This year's theme, "Human Rights, Our Everyday Essentials", offers a timely opportunity to reflect on the everyday rights that matter most to people with dementia and their care partners, as well as the legal frameworks that seek to safeguard those rights.

Please join us for a special Human Rights Day event—“Unpacking the Essentials: A Conversation about Human Rights and Dementia”—organised by Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health, Kimberley Benjamin.

The event, co-hosted by the Global Brain Health Institute and the Long Room Hub at Trinity College Dublin, will feature an interdisciplinary group of thought-provoking and action-inspiring speakers. It will be an open conversation among persons with lived experience of dementia and human rights lawyers. Our aim is to raise awareness about the connection between human rights and dementia so that the essentials of this community take centre stage.
