US Partner Columbia University’s Institute for the Study of Human Rights, has released its 2010 report on the 22nd year of the Human Rights Advocates Program (HRAP).
The HRAP concentrates on strengthening the skills, knowledge, and networks of proven grassroots human rights leaders who have an impact in their communities. These leaders, besides taking courses and skill-building workshops, also have an opportunity to meet with the human rights, academic, and donor communities.
The 10 leaders for 2010 were selected from 170 applicants and came from Belarus, Bosnia, Ghana, Haiti, Honduras, Mauritania/USA, South Africa, Sudan, and Uganda.
