Commission on the Status of Women NGO Parallel Event: HeRWAI - Achieving the Human Rights of Women using a practical tool
An introduction to HeRWAI, facilitated by Aim for human rights.
Human Rights are often the basis from which we work to improve the life of women. However it can be difficult to do this in practice. How do you relate human rights back to the daily lives of people? And in particular women?
Aim for human rights specializes in developing effective and efficient Human Rights Instruments. Aim has developed the Health Rights of Women Assessment Instrument (HeRWAI) together with its partners. HeRWAI has been used by NGO’s from around the world and is now supported by a pool of trainers. HeRWAI is available in English, Spanish, Indonesian, and will be available in Russian and Nepali soon. The panel will introduce you to the method and the results achieved.
