SVAW newsletter 07: Women defending human rights
The focus of this newsletter is women human rights defenders. Women play a central role in the global movement to defend human rights. As active defenders, they promote and protect human rights for all. Women defenders of human rights face specific violations because of their gender and the issues they address. The newsletter uses the illustrative example Jenni Williams of Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA).
