Remembering Magda

June 11, 1927 - July 7, 2020

We are deeply saddend by Magda Brown's passing. Her soul and spirit have been aligned with ARSP for decades. She has been a close mentor, friend, and companion to generations of young ARSP volunteers. Magda lived the message of reconciliation to the fullest and, thus, was one of our closest, finest and most trusted allies.

"On the basis of sex (and gender)"

The theme of the years 2019 to 2021

Each two years, ARSP highlights a topic, which then attracts a variety of events, workshops, interviews, and presentations. For 2019-2021, the chosen topic is „ON THE BASIS OF SEX (AND GENDER).“
