The Oslo Freedom Forum (OFF) is an annual global conference series produced by the Human Rights Foundation that gathers human rights defenders from around the world to speak truth to power. Based in New York, OFF is positioned within the civic and social organizations sector and emphasizes the display of humanity, solidarity, and hope alongside its event programming. The organization operates on a small team and relies on the convener role of its parent foundation to create a platform for discussion and advocacy. The event is held in early June, with recent activity noted around a 2023 initiative related to a CBDC tracker, reflecting an interest in broader human rights issues and transparency. OFF targets international human rights practitioners and advocates, aiming to provide a forum where participants can exchange ideas and address global challenges.
