External event
FRA will speak in the plenary session of the 30th Anniversary Conference of the Office of the Ombudsman in Malta. The event looks at the role of the Ombudsman in upholding human rights and protecting the vulnerable.

FRA will focus on the role of Ombuds institutions in facilitating access to rights for vulnerable people, given that they offer easier access than the justice system. 

To fulfil this mission, Ombuds institutions must create strong partnerships with other bodies in order to refer individuals and guide them through the maze of bodies that may be competent to deal with their case. Cooperation with civil society is also essential for ensuring outreach to vulnerable communities and promoting awareness of rights. 

The event takes place on 15 October.
