[hr-education] New Global Rights Morocco manuals on capacity building for women's human rights

Dear friends - 

We are pleased to announce the publication and distribution of our two new
Morocco office publications to promote women's human rights:

- Network Building for Women's Rights: A Practical Guide for Young
Activists in Morocco

- Promoting Access to Justice for Women in Morocco: A Practical Guide for
Local NGOs

"Promoting Access to Justice for Women in Morocco" is designed to help
local NGOs design and implement court accompaniment programs for women in
their communities. It contains guidance on providing court accompaniment
from a human rights perspective, strategies for program volunteer
recruitment, staffing and management, techniques for legal counseling and
assistance, information on relevant Morocco and international laws related
to common legal problems faced by women here, and a detailed guide to
monitoring the courts and analyzing court decisions and the treatment of
women by the justice system.

"Network-building for Women's Rights" is targeted at young activists in
Morocco to reinforce their capacities to work in networks to promote
women's human rights and help make their voices heard on the national
level. It contains information on effectively working in, advocating and
fundraising in youth networks, with a particular focus on feminist
management principles and integrating a human rights approach into daily
operations and practices.

The guides were made possible through the generous support of
USAID/Morocco and MEPI. They are in Arabic but an English language summary
is integrated into the Guide. If anyone is interested or if these would be
helpful for any of your programs or partner NGOs we'd be happy to speak
with you about them.

Thanks, 

Stephanie
