The Open Society Foundations have issued a call for projects that use a human rights-based approach. They are currently requesting information from NGOs about initiatives where they have worked with the police to improve the health and human rights of sex workers or people who use drugs in low and middle income countries.
This call will select eight model projects whose representatives will be invited to participate in a seminar in Sydney, Australia in November 2012, and will be profiled in an international publication. This meeting will also seek to foster the development of a “community of practice” for information exchange and advocacy on NGO-police collaboration to improve the health and rights of these groups.
Eligible projects should use a human rights-based approach, are driven by or involve meaningful engagement of sex workers and drug users themselves, engage cooperatively with law enforcement, and demonstrate positive impacts on police attitudes and practices or law enforcement policy.
Possible areas of work may include, but are not limited to:
- Developing and implementing tools for training police;
- Designing methods to ensure access to services while in police custody;
- Working with police to develop and implement tools for monitoring police abuse (physical, sexual, psychological) of criminalized groups;
- Cultivating teams of supportive police and building their capacity as advocates, peer trainers within the police force, and resource persons for sex worker and drug user groups;
- Negotiating access to police protection when sex workers or drug users are victims of crime, including when they are victims of police abuse; or
- Developing official laws, guidelines, or policies for police conduct toward criminalized groups.
Submissions must be written, audiotaped, or videotaped in English and sent by email. Shortlisted projects will be interviewed over the phone. The deadline for submissions is 3 August 2012.

Dear Sir,/Madam
This is to introduce to you our Organization Rubaga Division Disabled Association, a disabled people’s organization registered with Kampala City Council as a disabled women’s organization. It was founded by disabled women themselves in 2006 to address three major challenges affecting women with disabilities in Rubaga Division. The challenges are:
- violation of human rights
- communicable diseases
- and unemployment among women with disabilities.
This organization has a membership of three types of disabilities i.e. deaf, blind and people with physical disability.
We are seeking partnership with you to help us address those challenges in our community so as to enjoy our full rights and dignities in our society.
we will be very grateful if our request is honoured.
My kind regards

We don’t have any religious problem in our area, Ibn-e-Marriam Colony, as well as in our centre,” said Sunny Azeem, centre President, “and we are providing our services to both Christians and Muslims equally.”
The centre provides training courses in sewing, stitching and computer literacy to poor Christians and
Muslim women of the area. In addition, it offers health and orphan kids and adult education.
The prelate congratulated (The Society Of The Marginalized) staff for how they set up the centre. “Places like this are a source of harmony because Muslim and Christian women can live and work together in peace,” he told The Society Of The Marginalized.
“We have been working on this project since November 1, 2011,” Razzaq , The Society of the marginalized executive secretary, told Peoples. “We are officially inaugurating it [the centre] now but it has already been in operation for some time. Poor women come from nearby areas and their number keeps on rising. They come to learn and we try to provide them with dignified living facilities and employment. We have already received some orders from local garment manufacturers and some of the women and girls have already started earning money.”
