CREA is organizing the Feminist Leadership, Movement Building, and Rights Institute from 28 January to 1 February 2013 in Kathmandu, Nepal. The Institute is an annual five-day residential training programme aims to build the conceptual clarity of participants on gender, feminism, feminist leadership, and movement building, and their links to human rights in the South Asian context. It also aims to strengthen feminist leadership, strategies, and collective power of young women for their voices and demands to be heard—at the level of the community to the highest levels of decision-making.
This Institute offers mid-level women leaders in NGOs an opportunity to enhance their conceptual understanding as well as build their skills to do effective activism and advocacy on human rights. The Institute will build:
- Conceptual understanding of participants on gender, feminism, and movement building, and their links to human rights.
- Strategic skills by looking at and analyzing some social movements and successful advocacy campaigns in South Asia.
- Communication skills that will enable participants to prepare effective written communication material, social messaging in videos and documentaries, and use information and communications technology (ICT) for human rights work.
The Institute is supported by the Funding Leadership and Opportunities for Women (FLOW) Fund, Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, allowing CREA to cover tuition, boarding, and lodging costs for all participants. Participants must cover their own travel expenses. A limited number of travel scholarships from CREA are available on a need basis.
Applications are due on or before 10 December 2012. For more information, visit this link.
