Together for rights! ..but how?!
The Human Rights Cities Network released the publication “Together for rights! ..but how?! Recommendations for the participatory monitoring of human rights in cities”. The publication is the output of the activities realised in the framework of the Civic Action for Rights and Equality in Cities – CAREinCities project, supported by the European Civic Forum and funded by the European Union.
The project was aimed at improving cooperation within and among the cities of Ghent (Belgium) and Padua (Italy) to enhance human rights monitoring in the fields of social services and social inclusion. A group of civil society organisations, academic researchers and municipal officials from the two cities worked together over two months to reflect together on how to structure and implement an effective monitoring system for human rights in their cities.
The publication aims to disseminate the knowledge co-produced through the CAREinCities project and to provide operational suggestions to all the European cities that are embarking on the exciting journey of building a participatory system to monitor human rights in the city.
