Local
Action/Global Change: Learning About the Human Rights of Women
and Girls
This
comprehensive training manual includes the whole spectrum
of women's human rights in an "interactive" format
by combining the development of rights awareness with issue-oriented
activities that include discussions, role-play, story-telling
and creative expression in art and music. Local Action/Global
Change includes substantive information about the human rights
of women in such areas as violence, health, reproduction and
sexuality, education, the global economy, the workplace, and
family life. Each chapter connects the discussion to specific
provisions of international agreements. This innovative book
addresses many audiences: advocates for women's human rights,
students, educators, and grassroots women.
