A curriculum to build a more just, inclusive future
Welcome to the Women’s Human Rights Teaching, Learning, and Advocacy Community. Here you can learn more about issues affecting women worldwide and advocacy tools to work towards justice.
In 2020, a group of volunteers from civil society and higher education came together to prepare a curriculum to support women’s human rights that is grounded in globally recognized agreements. This collection of teaching guides and educational resources is adaptable across contexts to help educators, community organizers, and self-motivated learners gain insight into the challenges and the solutions for women.
