- Description
- This handbook combines development of rights awareness with issue-oriented actions. The manual 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 the provisions of CEDAW (the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women) and to the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and other international agreements. .The book provides tools for women and men to examine critically the framework of human rights. The manual encourages readers to make connections among different sets of human rights and different constituencies. Activities feature interactive methodologies such as discussion, role-play, story-telling, and creative expression in art and music to relate human rights principles to women's personal experience.
