The Swedish Forum for Human Rights (MR-dagarna) is the Nordics biggest forum for practitioners, researchers, authorities, politicians and non-governmental organisations who work with, or wants to learn more about human rights. The purpose of MR-dagarna is to increase the knowledge about human rights and to put them higher up on the political agenda. The Forum is arranged yearly in different cities and with different themes, to contribute to the development of human rights in Sweden and internationally. MR-dagarna is a non-profit forum and is also politically- and religiously independent. It is a cooperative project where Föreningen Ordfront is the economic- and legal principle.

The Swedish Forum for Human Rights 2022 will take place on 17th-18th of November at Conventum in Örebro. The theme for the forum is “The right to a life in peace and security“.
