\u201cIn a time of increasing divisiveness, learning about the powerful tool of human rights and about how to dialogue through difference is more than ever relevant and critical. Equitas\u2019 International Human Rights Training Program creates a great setting to do just that. For over four decades, thousands of human rights defenders from over 140 countries have learnt not just about the human rights framework but also from each other. They have gone on to lead significant social changes in their respective communities in a way that bridges through differences to protect the rights for all.\u201d<\/em><\/p>
