SAMARKAND, 20 June 2001 (OSCE) - The OSCE Centre in Tashkent together with the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) will hold from 23 to 26 July a training on human rights report writing in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
The three-day training session aims at providing the skills how to proficiently write and efficiently distribute human rights reports, using the United Nations Human Rights protection system. It addresses in particular persons working on women's rights issues in Uzbekistan.
"Uzbekistan shows its interest in building a democratic state with a stable civil society, where the active participation of women is a prerequisite", said Gantcho Gantchev, Head of the OSCE Centre in Taskhent. "According to the laws of Uzbekistan the rights of women are guaranteed, but they need further perfection and implementation. Based on OSCE commitments and the successful organization of a previous training session in 2000, the ODIHR and the Centre in Tashkent deemed it necessary to encourage new groups of people working on women's rights and related issues to obtain the skills on human and women's rights monitoring and reporting", he added.
The training will be attended by 25 participants representing governmental and non-governmental organizations from different regions of Uzbekistan. Two national trainers from the Tashkent State Law Institute, Professor Galia Taksinbaeva and Malika Inakova, will moderate the training session. The training agenda includes information on competent report writing, strategic planing and possibilities of constructive co-operation between non-governmental and governmental organizations.
