Creating a Human Rights City / Community

Since 1998 PDHRE is facilitating the development of Human Rights Cities. These cities pledge to create a community in which all members, from policy makers to ordinary citizens, learn about and adhere to human rights obligations. Women and men across all sections of the city learn to understand human rights as a way of life with its political, moral and legal implications.
