How to connect popular needs and desires with institutions? How to stage the oppressions experienced by women and then transform them into political proposals to be presented to governments and the United Nations?

For the fourth consecutive year, Parteciparte will conduct a workshop in Geneva within the international training “Training on Women’s Human Rights Advocacy”, to show how to use forum theatre for advocacy work with institutions.

In the workshop we will explore concrete situations of gender discrimination in different areas (work, health, education, private life, social life, politics, etc.). We will stage the causes and obstacles that prevent women from enjoying their rights and we will analyze the consequences for both women and society. Finally, we will look for possible action strategies and we will formulate specific recommendations to the institutions, using the CEDAW tools (Convention for the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women).
