ONLINE DIALOGUE NOW OPEN - TACTICS FOR
SUSTAINING THE WELL-BEING & SECURITY OF DEFENDERS
Join the Association for Women’s Rights in
Development (AWID) and the New Tactics online community of practitioners for an
online dialogue on Tactics for sustaining the well-being and security
of defenders from June 20 to 26, 2012.
New Tactics has hosted a number of dialogues on
keeping human rights defenders safe and well: Staying Safe: Security
Resources for Human Rights Defenders (July 2010), Self-Care for
Activists: Sustaining Your Most Valuable Resource (Sept 2010) and Being
Well and Staying Safe: Resources for human rights defenders (June 2011).
Through these conversations, we were able to bring together human rights
defenders in the field, organizations that work to support defenders, funders,
trainers, mental health practitioners and others interested in well-being and
security. From this base of individuals, organizations and information,
we are excited to host a dialogue that focuses on the next steps and tactics in
sustaining the well-being and security of defenders, with particular attention
being paid to the needs of Women Human Rights Defenders.
This dialogue will be an opportunity to explore the
innovative ways that practitioners are support their well-being and security as
well as their colleagues. Join us on June 20 to exchange tactics, ideas and
resources for sustaining the well-being and security of defenders!
To help you catch up on what has already been discussed, we have compiled comments shared in our previous dialogues into one summary!
