The 2013 Zimbabwean Constitution offers great promises to both citizens and foreign nationals who live within the country's territorial borders. These promises range from an almost exhaustive list of enforceable fundamental rights, including economic, social and cultural rights, to the creation of a number of independent and state institutions supporting democracy (i.e. the Human Rights Commission, the Gender Commission and the Anti-corruption Commission). However, amid these promises lie challenges. The people's enjoyment of the promises of the Declaration of Rights will mainly depend on multiple factors, including the presence of a vibrant civil society, empowered citizenry and an accountable government that is politically willing to translate the promises into reality. In this panel, Zimbabwean academics and professionals, with a moderator from the Raoul Wallenberg Institute, will discuss the promises, challenges and opportunities in this regard.

Based on current research conducted at Lund University and the Raoul Wallenberg Institute this panel discusses what could and should be done to improve refugee protection, locally, nationally, regionally and globally.

Spridningen av pornografi har exploderat de senaste tjugo åren samtidigt som pornografin innehåller allt mer våld. Runt om i världen växer en rörelse för att begränsa spridningen av pornografi och stoppa porrkulturen.
Numera vet vi också att det finns en stark koppling mellan pornografi och prostitution som det sällan talas om. Enligt olika studier är män som tittar på porr statistiskt mer benägna att köpa sex. Det finns också en annan koppling mellan pornografi och prostitution och det är att den som börjar arbeta inom porrindustrin förr eller senare hamnar i prostitution.
