Faith, Freedom, and the Fracturing of Democracy

Across the world, democracies are under strain. Civil society is increasingly under pressure, spaces for dissent and dialogue are narrowing, freedom of religion is being contested, and polarization is shaping political discourse. These challenges may unfold differently across contexts, but their echoes are global and deeply concerning.  

 Emre Gungor (Volt), Fatimazhra Belhirch (D66), Danielle Hirsch (GroenLinks-PvdA), and Isa Kahraman (NSC) will join us for a fireside conversation on faith, freedom and fractured democracy! We will begin with the situation in India, where activists, journalists, and religious minorities face rising restrictions. We will then turn our attention to the Netherlands, going for polls once again. As diaspora and citizens, we want to ask the difficult questions on the future of democracy, and we believe you have some burning questions too!

Let’s talk about the future of democracy and why it matters to all of us!
