Representatives of more than 30 NGOs from across Slovakia came together to discuss the state of human rights in real communities \u2014 from grassroots challenges to systemic barriers. The first panel, moderated by Csilla Droppov\u00e1, brought together civic leaders R\u00f3bert Furiel, Maro\u0161 Chmel\u00edk, Zuzana Jan\u00ed\u010dkov\u00e1, Eva Kov\u00e1\u010dechov\u00e1, and Milan Zvada.
