Michelle Belfor
Just completed the third session 'designing an action plan' of the program called The UPR: Bringing changes through advocacy and accountability. Very informative and interesting information that I am ready to share with national youth advocates of SRHR.
Rayah Bhattacharji
We also attended a few pre-sessions from other countries and were blown away by how much practical on-the-ground information we gained about the human rights situation in other countries. We learned a lot from that.
Tsitsi Matekaire
It was a great experience to have been part of. It has helped me understand the advocacy process better and will be prepared for future engagements. The UPR pre-session team was good at communicating around the process and keeping us informed. They did a great job and welcomed the specific feedback on our statement as well.
