notebook: The Power of Place: How historic sites can engage citizens in human rights issues

notebook: Side by Side: Protecting and encouraging threatened activists with unarmed international accompaniment

This notebook describes how two US nongovernmental organizations developed training to increase the capacity of companies to build more effective relationships with indigenous peoples.  First Peoples Worldwide and Business for Social Responsibility sought to bring the rights of indigenous peoples to the forefront and encourage businesses to do the same.

Minnesota Advocates for Human Rights uses traditional human rights monitoring methods to document human rights abuses, but in this notebook we will learn how the group has also made a practice of adapting this methodology to emerging human rights issues. Minnesota Advocates has identified and developed practical and sustainable strategies for adapting human rights monitoring methods to address domestic violence (in Eastern Europe and the U.S.), child survival (in Mexico, Uganda and the U.S.) and transitional justice (in Peru).
