The meeting was attended by Matthias Platzeck, Chairman of the Foundation’s Supervisory Board, Dr. Martin Kummer, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board, and Executive Director Anna Kaiser.

During the dialogue, the parties discussed mechanisms for the protection of human rights, the handling of appeals, monitoring visits conducted with the participation of public representatives to institutions where persons with restricted freedom of movement are held, the development of cooperation with civil society institutions, as well as issues related to ensuring the rights of persons with disabilities.

It was also noted that the prevention of violence against women remains one of the pressing issues in Germany’s practice as well, and that approaches aimed at preserving family and universal human values play an important role in this regard.

In addition, the parties exchanged views on prospects for mutual exchange of experience in the field of ensuring human rights, strengthening relations between civil society institutions, and implementing joint initiatives.
