Local Action/Global Change:
Learning About the Human Rights of Women and Girls
Julie Mertus with Nancy Flowers and Mallika Dutt, UNIFEM, 1999. Paperback.
|

|
This extensive 250 page book can be used by adult groups as well as in a classroom. Each chapter provides information, statistics and illustrative examples of both human rights abuses and victories, and culminates with an exercise in which participants can create a "document" that would protect that right for women. There also are numerous consciousness raising activities, role playing and otherwise, that bring attention to the issues around women and their universal rights. |
