Printer-friendly versionSend to friendThroughout the summer, I had the opportunity to use the New Tactics website extensively. What helped my work was reading about the different strategies that were being used to target human rights abuses around the world. What was specifically helpful was that I was able to get a sense of how different organizations were seeking to address problems in a culturally sensitive manner and in a way that was holisitc. For example, I specifically remember reading the tactical notebook entitled "Engaging Key Stakeholders," and this really provoked me to think about how important it is to involve the population of interest into the intervention in question; in this case CARE seeking to address HIV/AIDS Prevention in Bangladesh by involving the key stakeholders: the Bangladesh Truck Driver’s Federation. By reading this notebook, I was reminded to think critically about how to approach human rights work and how to appropriately and sensitively work with the population of concern.
