Coalition Building for Tolerance and Non-Discrimination: A Practical Guide [Brochure]
Coalition building is about individual organizations amplifying their voices by working together. Anti-Semitism, intolerance and discrimination are deeply embedded across the OSCE region and addressing them requires the combined efforts of many communities and organizations. It cannot be accomplished in any large measure by just one group acting on its own. By bringing together groups with different skills, experiences, resources and connections, coalitions can be a powerful ways to bring about large-scale, enduring changes to address issues of discrimination.
ODIHR’s new guide offers community leaders and civil society organizations in the OSCE region a human rights-based approach and practical basis for building successful coalitions aimed at addressing discrimination and fostering more tolerant and peaceful societies. By providing multiple resources and good practices, tips for gender mainstreaming and step-by-step instructions, this guide serves as a starting point not only for civil society organizations and communities setting out to create successful coalitions that strengthen responses to intolerance and discrimination, but for all members of civil society who wish to create coalitions to advance their goals.
