RARE is an exceptional opportunity for human rights defenders and civic space advocates from across the EU to meet, learn and strategise together. Apply by 28 July and take action together for civic space and the rule of law in the EU. Apply here: https://lnkd.in/eAhtCQ-G From fall 2024 till summer 2026, 25 leading staff members of civic organisations from all over Europe will take part in 8 high-quality skills and knowledge-building events (camps) as well as collaborate on advocating for protecting civic space in the EU. Participants will forge connections with and join RARE’s first two cohorts. Resource persons and expert contributors at the 8 camps will be drawn from Hertie School faculty, leading civil society and multilateral organisations as well as think tanks.

The British abolitionist movement was a collective effort involving a wide range of individuals and actions. It involved politicians, ordinary workers, women, and the voices of formerly enslaved people, all working together to drive change. Elizabeth Heyrick’s advocacy for immediate abolition stands out as a key example of how personal commitment and collective effort can forge significant social progress.
 Reflecting on this history allows us to understand how diverse contributions can drive significant social change. How can these insights inform our approach to contemporary social justice issues? 

Join the discussion.

🔵 This month, Synergy for Justice starts a new set of training and mentoring programs with our partner, Amal Healing and Advocacy Center.   Recognizing the importance of not only engaging women in dialogues on transitional justice but also having them lead the dialogue with other women, Synergy will train 45 women activists from different geographical areas to lead and facilitate community dialogue sessions in their own communities.    Training will be conducted over the next four months, during which the women will learn more about human rights, International Humanitarian Law, the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda, and community facilitation skills.    Stay with us, and we will share more insights and updates from the program. #transitionaljustice #humanrights
