Realising street children's rights through human rights advocacy

About the course

The course provides methods for developing an advocacy strategy, and action plans, aligned to your organisation’s capacity and strengths. It also contains insight into how to engage with the UN Treaty Body system, and the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.

The course is delivered virtually through videos, group discussion forums, exercises, quizzes, and more, and can be completed at your own pace. It contains five modules, each of which requires several hours of study and independent work.

“I’d like to thank CSC for putting together a well-thought through, comprehensive course on advocacy. It is really very much appreciated. The volume of information provided and the fact that the materials remain available to refer back to, is really great. Thank you!”

“I have started some advocacy plans for affordable education in a volatile community to prevent children going to the streets.”

“The course has widened my understanding of advocacy and how to plan it especially regarding children.”

“[…] the modules are designed to fit for participants of all levels. I did not have much of experience on advocacy, I have learned a lot as a beginner, and I am confident to engage in human right advocacy for future.”
