The project "Empowering University Youth to Promote Human Rights of Young People from Vulnerable Groups", short name "Rights Project", aims to empower university students to prevent discrimination and human rights violations against young people from vulnerable groups under the European Union's European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (DIHAA) program.
The project, implemented by the Youth Services Center Association (GSM), Mardin Joint Women's Cooperation Association (MOKİD) and Uğur Mumcu Investigative Journalism Foundation (um:ag), aims to connect university students aged 18-25 on the basis of equality and zero discrimination through online and face-to-face activities.
On Saturday, November 11, 2023 - Sunday, November 12, 2023, human rights violations and discrimination against young people will be discussed within the scope of the "Human Rights Monitoring Workshop" to be held in Mardin.
On the first day, cases of discrimination and human rights violations will be presented and discussed, and policy recommendations will be developed for young people from vulnerable groups in group work.
On the second day, representatives from each group will come together to focus on how these violations can be prevented through necessary policy changes in public policies and their implementation.
The project budget will cover accommodation, three meals and intercity travel expenses for participants from outside Mardin, and lunch, tea, coffee and snacks for participants from Mardin.
