I wonder if you would be so kind as to help me. The phrase is: "speaking truth to power." I understand it has become the motto of many human rights organizations. Could you, please, inform me what is the source of this expression, and what is the exact meaning? As I understand, it means: to struggle on behalf of the weak, to convey the message of the underprivileged (?). Your reply would be much appreciated, and I thank you in advance for your attention. Best regards, Ruti Assouline E-mail: rutias@netvision.net.il --------- LOOKING FOR MANUALS AND RESOURCES ABOUT TRAINING NGOs ON CHILDREN'S RIGHTS The UNICEF Regional Office for Central and Eastern Europe, Commonwealth of Independent States and the Baltic States is compiling a list of manuals and resources for training NGOs on children's rights. In addition to overall training on the CRC, they would also be interested in training on specific areas of rights, as well as advocacy strategies for these rights. They would be grateful if organisations or individuals would send them information about relevant materials and where they can be obtained. Kindly indicate the themes covered, target audiences, language(s), and format. It would be appreciated if electronic copies could be forwarded where they exist, as well as web links to on-line materials.
