Human Rights Violations Monitoring and Advocacy Training in Tirana, Albania, October 2010

From 2-3 of October we conducted training on human rights monitoring and advocacy within the framework of our Step Up! project in the Western Balkans.

The training was conducted by Lilit Poghosyan, ILGA-Europe’s programmes and policy officer and attended by 10 representatives of the project partner organisation in Albania.

The goal of the training was to build the capacity of the project partner to document human rights violations of LGBT people according to international standards and advocate effectively on LGBT issues on a national level.

During the training the participants have learned main concepts, principles and methods of monitoring and documentation of human rights violations and different steps in advocacy planning. Furthermore, they were guided, through practical exercises, to develop monitoring and advocacy plan for their organization.

ILGA Europe’s Step Up! Project was launched in January 2010 for 3 years with 5 partner organizations in the Western Balkans.
