FEATURED DIALOGUE: Video Advocacy – OPEN TODAY!
This month's featured online dialogue will focus on using video for human rights advocacy. Filmmakers and communities are using the power of video to change the world around them for the better. This featured online dialogue will focus on ways in which these mechanisms can be utilized and how their mandates and resources can address social change. New Tactics is pleased to host resource practitioners from seven countries experienced in using video for human rights advocacy. Join the New Tactics community today so you can share your experiences, ideas and questions!

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.
