Participants from around the world will explore strategies that lay and religious leaders and other civil society actors can use to increase the impact of faith-based advocacy for womens human rights.

Participants will discuss faith-based approaches to gender justice, reporting on human rights in context, and advocacy principles and strategies. 

The training will also touch upon theological and faith-based approaches to gender, as well as an introduction to the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women, and give participants practical tools for engaging with UN mechanisms.
