the collective conceptualised and developed content for a campaign in support of gender parity, highlighting messaging related to women and education, work, war and peace:
the primary objectives of the initiative, which was supported by Minority Rights Group, were:
- enhancing the capacity of rights groups to represent themselves and their marginalised beneficiaries and advocate publicly and strategically;
- promoting an understanding of the value of grassroots activism that spotlights individual stories and engages communities;
- promoting and facilitating collaborative efforts by different rights groups demanding more pluralistic systems of governance.
