Director: Alda Facio
Faculty: Peggy Antrobus, Angela Miles, Monica Muñoz-Vargas

www1.oise.utoronto.ca/cwse/springinst_06.htm
Maximum of twenty participants
PURPOSE: The Institute brings feminist perspectives and an active orientation to the inextricably related issues of peace, human rights and life-sustaining development. Participants will gain an understanding of the local and global economic, ecological, legal, cultural, and political contexts of this practice, as well as the groundbreaking work that is currently being done and has been done over decades by women and men around the world.
Important milestones such as the U.N. Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Security Council Resolution 1325, the Beijing Platform for Action, and Women’s Action Agenda 21, will be featured. Women’s historical struggles for their adoption, their potential as resources for social change, and effective ways of using them as tools for education and practice will be explored.
GOAL: To raise awareness of the human rights standards set by the United Nations, with the objective of supporting participants to develop their projects within a human rights framework and engage in human rights education themselves. The Institute will serve those wishing to strengthen both their practice and their theoretical understanding of human rights and peace building.
PARTICIPANTS: The course is designed for a wide variety of participants from all regions, including (but not limited to) human rights advocates in government and non-government organizations, teachers and educators, union representatives, practitioners, policy-makers, peace activists, feminists, development workers, movement activists, and students.
PROGRAMME
The Institute, while rich in theory and scholarly information, will be characterized by committed, engaged activism, rather than by a purely academic stance. There will be an integration of theory and practice; reflection and action; and critique and vision. Human rights, peace, and emerging alternatives to globalization will be examined both as interconnected elements of a socially just and sustainable world and as alternative ways of knowing, acting, being, and interacting. Human rights instruments, their applicability and the necessity of accountability will be examined. The institute will aim to create a safe, supportive, cooperative and celebratory space that honors differences, affirms women's strengths, values individual and collective experience and draws on and contributes directly to practice. All instructors have extensive activist experience at local, national and international levels and are known for their theoretical, academic and policy contributions in these areas.
