As part of its annual lecture series, the
Pharos Trust will be inviting Baroness Cox, Deputy Speaker of the House of
Lords and a tireless campaigner for Human Rights around the world. She
will give a talk about her life and experiences in championing human
rights in Europe, Africa, Asia and will sign copies of her recent
biography, "A Voice for the Voiceless". "One of the greatest women of
generation…" George Thomas Viscount Tonypandy, former Speaker of the House
of Commons.
"As William Wilberforce was a voice for the voiceless and stood against his party and fellow parliamentarians in his campaign to end the slave trade in the 18th century England, so is Baroness Caroline Cox. With true Christian compassion fused with fierce courage, Lady Cox continues to shun mere observation for frontline participation. |
