TOOLS FOR TAKING ACTION

 Haki Zetu: ESR Rights in Practice
Source: Amnesty International Netherlands, 2010
A practical toolkit for local NGOs and CBOs working with communities to realize their economic, social, and cultural rights. Supports local activists and development workers who use a rights-based approach to tackle economic and social problems. Provides information and tools with which local activists and NGO/CBO workers can raise awareness, monitor, and advocate for an improved access to economic, social and cultural rights.

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
