PHM-Exch> Fwd: Join our discussion on combating traditional practices that violate human rights

[Claudio Schuftan]

From: Kristin Antin <kantin at cvt.org>


 Join the New Tactics online community for an online conversation on *Powerful
Persuasion: Combating Traditional Practices that Violate Human Rights* from
*August 19 to 23, 2013*.****

** **

Traditions and rituals are often supported by strongly held cultural
beliefs.  The deep roots of traditional cultural practices can make it very
difficult to change behaviors that are harmful and violate the human rights
of a community or individual. Often, the key to this kind of cultural shift
is respectful, patient, community-led persuasion to create movements for
change.****

** **

This conversation is an opportunity for practitioners involved or
interested in the power of persuasion tactics to share their experiences,
questions, challenges and ideas. ****
