\n The Eleventh Review of the Situation of Human Rights in Lithuania “Human Rights in Lithuania 2020-2021”.<\/a>

The Human Rights Watch biennial report on the human rights situation, prepared in cooperation with independent experts, covers key developments in the areas of freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and religion, discrimination, violence against women, LGBTQI+ rights, the rights of people with disabilities, the rights of prisoners, the rights of victims of trafficking, the rights of migrants and refugees, and mental health, among others. For the first time, this review also looks at the situation of social rights or the right to live in dignity, as well as the right to health in the context of a pandemic.<\/p>\n
