Promoting Women's Rights:
A Resource Guide for Litigating International Law in Domestic Courts.
A Resource Guide for Litigating International Law in Domestic Courts.
The NGO, Global Rights, together with a group of Maghreban lawyers have published a 135-page practical guide guide to promoting women's rights throughout the Maghreb.
The book, whose purpose is to help lawyers use international law to promote women's rights at home, is the latest result of more than six years of collaboration between Global Rights and activists from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. The practical guide will be distributed as a book and CD-Rom to lawyers from Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.
The first part of the guide considers how lawyers can integrate international human rights standards into their daily litigations and domestic court cases that involve women's rights.
The second part of the publication presents the results of the research undertaken on the issue in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.
The creators of the guide held intensive interviews with lawyers and other legal professionals, as well as gathering and analysing judicial decisions from a diversity of courts across their respective countries.
Their final reports suggest a series of “next steps” for local lawyers to take in order to promote women's rights through domestic litigations that use international standards.
The Global Rights is a human rights advocacy group which aims at challenging injustice and amplifying new voices within the global discource and conducts women's rights advocacy programming through partnerships with local groups in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Yemen. They currently operate an office in Morocco.
