Advancing a Human Rights agenda in South Africa
 

13 September 2009
hragenda.jpg The Foundation for Human Rights is pleased to share this selection of papers with you. We have chosen these primarily from various papers commissioned by the FHR from 2007 to 2009.

The papers were part of a two year review that we conducted to aid our reflection on the past two FHR programmes and to prepare for the third programme. In addition to the papers, we held discussion forums, workshops, policy dialogues and a range of more informal processes nationally and provincially. These processes have been invaluable in informing  the design of the third FHR programme for 2009 to 2012.
