Hola, soy Gines del norte de Argentina, donde trabajo en la Fundación Andhes. Llegue a este grupo a través de mi organización, precisamente tras ver un anuncio sobre un curso online sobre abogacía comunitaria. Actualmente trabajo temas sobre violencia policial y políticas de seguridad, aquí llevamos la querella de familiares y victimas de la brutalidad policial en algunos casos estratégicos para poder sugerir cambios en las políticas de seguridad que van contra los estándares internacionales de derechos humanos o criminalizan a la población joven y vulnerable. Saludos

Thanks so much!!!

Hi all! I am Emmanuel, Founder & CEO of Rohi Foundation Cameroon. I came across this wonderful network forum in the internet and when I read through the mission statement, it resonated in me that this is a network of people with like minds.

My organization, Rohi Foundation is a registered association in Cameroon with the mission of promoting peace, human rights and humanitarian actions in Cameroon. Since the inception of the violence in the English speaking part of Cameroon since 2016, Rohi Foundation has focused its actions on civilian peacebuilding in the conflict zone. Presently Rohi Foundation is working on extending a project that aims to de-radicalize and reduce youths’ vulnerability to the violence in the English Speaking regions of Cameroon and also equip them to face the educational challenges provoked by the Corona pandemic.

We look forward for your partnership and support.

Buenos días! Si Sofía Langelotti, tengo 26 años y vivo en Mendoza, Argentina. Soy abogada (independiente) y participo como co-referenta en el área de género y diversidad sexual de Xumek, una ONG local que tiene por misión la promoción y protección de DDHH en la provincia.
Lo último que he estado trabajando, ha sido el acceso a derechos vulnerados en contextos de aislamiento social por Covid-19. Me interesó el curso de empoderamiento porque considero que la abogacía es una herramienta que debe ser revalorizada para el cambio social.

Buen día. Mi nombre es Laura. Soy abogada. Me desempeñé los últimos nueve años en el Servicio Local de Protección de Derechos de niños, niñas y adolescentes de San Martín, Buenos Aires, Argentina, lugar en el que vivo.

Considero que este curso y el intercambio que puede tener lugar, resultaría sumamente enriquecedor para mi formación.

Saludos a todos!!
