[huridocs-tech] New Web-based Resource for Human Rights Groups Launched

NEW WEB-BASED RESOURCE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS GROUPS LAUNCHED
Human Rights Connection(http://www.hrconnection.org/)

Human rights groups around the world now have access to a forum for the
exchange of practical information in many languages to support their
social justice work.

The Digital Freedom Network, Forefront and the Center for the Study of
Human Rights at Columbia University have partnered to coordinate Human
Rights Connection (HRC) at http://www.hrconnection.org, a web-based
community resource center that provides human rights activists with a
place to read and post "how to" information, articles and case studies on
a wide range of issues, such as working with the media, planning an
advocacy campaign, establishing an organization, and using
technology.  Material on other topics, such as managing a Board of
Directors, fund raising and financial management for human rights,
accountability and coping in face of danger will be posted in the future.

Human Rights Connection is developed out of longstanding relationships
with grassroots activists. Initially published in English, French,
Portuguese and Spanish (and Arabic and Chinese in the future), the site
provides a forum for South-South exchange and offers materials written
and suggested by activists from around the world who are working to
improve their communities.  We invite you to share resources that
your organization has used or found helpful.

As this site will continue to evolve based upon the needs and input of
those in the human rights field, please send us your comments and
suggestions.
