Join PEN Perth and the State Library of Western Australia for a lecture and discussion with acclaimed journalist Sophie McNeill.

She will look at examples from across the world to think about how ordinary people can change power relations and support human rights. The audience will have a chance to ask questions and think through our role as citizens today.
