Dialogue on Self-Care being held by New Tactics community members
Human rights workers are often so focused on how they can help care for others that they forget to care for themselves. They can be subject to burnout, compassion fatigue, or vicarious trauma. But through self care, those problems may be preventable. Please take a minute to look at our resources on Self-Care for Human Rights Practitioners, and participate in one of our dialogues on this topic.

RESOURCES
New Tactics workbook - now available in Indonesian!
The New Tactics in Human Rights, through a grant provided by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), was able to provide eight grants in 2007-08 to organizations using New Tactics resources and tools to further their efforts. We are very proud to feature the wonderful work that they have been doing. In Indonesia, the PEC (People's Empowerment Consortium) has used New Tactics materials to further the discussion and open new avenues for action regarding the truth and reconciliation process. In addition, PEC translated the New Tactics in Human Rights: A Resource for Practitioners into the Indonesian language. Download this workbook for free on our website!

New Tactics notebook - Building Child Friendly Villages
This notebook will introduce and share the concept of Child Friendly Villages or Bal Mitra Gram (BMG) which directly address the multi-dimensional problems that generate, maintain and perpetuate the child labor situation. BMGs attack the triangular paradigm, a vicious circle of illiteracy, poverty, and child labor. The BMG is an innovative concept that offers a long-term, sustainable solution to a wide variety of problems such as child labor, trafficking for forced labor, poverty alleviation, and illiteracy, among others.

The New Tactics in Human Rights Project is an international initiative led by a diverse group of organizations and practitioners from around the world. The project is coordinated by the Center for Victims of Torture and grew out of its experience as a creator of new tactics and a treatment center that also advocates for the protection of human rights from a unique position—one of healing and reclaiming civic leadership.
