Short Summary |
This notebook uses the case of Turkey to show
how building collaborative relationships with government institutions
can advance human rights education. Women for Women's Human Rights
(WWHR)-New Ways, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Turkey gained
the support and use of government resources for furthering human rights
education of women at the local level. The organisation developed
a highly successful human rights education curriculum for women. However,
WWHR - New Ways still needed an accessible, structured and sustainable
way to reach women in need of learning about their rights. The NGO
developed an excellent partnership with government run, local level
community centres. WWHR - New Ways were able to train the centres'
professional social workers to facilitate the human rights education
curriculum and the centres were offered by the government as safe
and accessible places for women to learn about their rights. |
