    الحلقة الاولى: دردشة عن حقوق الإنسان - كسر الصور النمطية: المساواة بين الجنسين

    الحلقة الاولى: دردشة عن حقوق الإنسان - كسر الصور النمطية: المساواة بين الجنسين

    لطالما كانت المطالبة بالمساواة بين الرجل والمرأة تشكل جزءًا أساسيًا من التطور الاجتماعي والثقافي في المجتمعات. يعكس هذا الاهتمام بتحقيق المساواة تفاعلات اجتماعية عميقة، حيث لا يقتصر الأمر على النقاشات السياسية والحقوق القانونية فقط، بل يتعداها ليشمل مجالات متنوعة مثل التعليم والعمل والمشاركة في اتخاذ القرار. هذه المطالبات لا تشكل ظاهرة حديثة، بل تمتد عبر العصور. حيث يعتبر أول مؤتمر لحقوق المرأة في الولايات المتحدة في عام 1848 نقطة بداية هامة، حيث تم التأكيد على الحقوق المدنية والاجتماعية والسياسية والدينية للمرأة، بما في ذلك حقها في التصويت. 

    منذ ذلك الحين، تسارعت هذه المطالب حتى وصلت إلى ذروتها. في 10 كانون الأول/ديسمبر 1948، حين أعلنت الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة عن الإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان، الذي أكد على أن المساواة بين الجنسين أصبحت جزءًا لا يتجزأ من القانون الدولي لحقوق الإنسان، وفقًا لهذا الإعلان. هذا التحول التاريخي كان نتيجة للجهود المتواصلة لتعزيز حقوق المرأة والمساواة بين الجنسين. لكن هناك تحديات مستمرة تواجه تحقيق هذه المساواة، سواء كانت في تحديات الفهم الثقافي أو القيم المجتمعية.

    وللحديث أكثر في موضوع المساواة بين الجنسين استضفنا الأستاذة أنسام العبايجي

    المستشارة الإقليمية للنوع الاجتماعي لمنطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا التابع لمفوضية الأمم المتحدة السامية لحقوق الإنسان. تحمل درجة الماجستير في سياسات التنمية الدولية و لديها خبرة عمل متنوعة مع القطاع العام والمنظمات الدولية حيث عملت لعشر سنوات في الحكومة واسست اول مديرية لتسجيل المنظمات غير الحكومية وضبط عملها في وزارة التخطيط العراقية. كما عملت في العديد من المنظمات الدولية على مدى العقدين الماضيين المعنية بحقوق الإنسان منها صندوق الأمم المتحدة للسكان ومنظمة الأمم المتحدة للطفولة والبنك الدولي. مجمل الخبرة تصب في كيفية إدماج النوع الاجتماعي في السياسات والخطط الوطنية وإعداد استراتيجيات للنهوض بالمرأة و مناهضة العنف ضد المرأة وايضا دور المرأة في بناء السلام في دول المنطقة العربية. قادت ونفذت العديد من برامج بناء القدرات لمختلف الفئات من أصحاب المصلحة و بالاخص الموظفين/ات الحكوميين/ات في مجالي المساواة بين الجنسين والعنف القائم على النوع الاجتماعي.

    Ep 07: The Silenced Project: Stories from Solitary Confinement

    Ep 07: The Silenced Project: Stories from Solitary Confinement

    Despite international standards such as the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, and the Nelson Mandela Rules, which obligate states to treat incarcerated individuals with respect for human dignity, Solitary Watch estimates that 120,000 people in the US are living in solitary confinement. These individuals are isolated in small, closed cells with no meaningful human contact for 22-24 hours per day.

    On this episode of Human Rights Chat, New Tactics interviews advocates for prison reform in the US state of Michigan. These individuals and organizations are fighting to put an end to the practice of solitary confinement in their state. Check out the following organizations and resources for more information:


    The Silenced Project. Silenced is a collection of letters and art that was produced in collaboration with people inside solitary confinement.
    Michigan Citizens for Prison Reform: MICPR is a nonprofit grassroots and family-led initiative to advance the human rights of those affected by crime and punishment.
    The Open MI Door campaign: OpenMIDoor is a campaign to end solitary confinement and advance humane alternatives in Michigan.


    Zealous: An initiative that harnesses technology, media and storytelling to promote justice and policy change to right historic imbalances. Zealous collaborated with the above organizations to create the Silenced Project digital archive.

    We invite you to check out other episodes of Human Rights Chat on Apple, Spotify, Google, or Soundcloud as well as the New Tactics library of more than 260 innovative human rights tactics for change at newtactics.org.

    Ep 04: Healing, Incarceration and Policing: A Conversation with Ta'Mara Hill

    Ep 04: Healing, Incarceration and Policing: A Conversation with Ta'Mara Hill

    Every year the U.S. spends $80 billion to keep more than two million people incarcerated. The US makes up 5% of the global population, but holds 20% of its prisoners. We’re the global leader in a contest no one wants to win. U.S. police kill more than 1,000 people annually, and the data shows that BlPOC Americans are disproportionately killed and abused. The use of excessive force, violence and brutality at the hands of police are are common violations of human rights. 

    In this episode of Human Rights Chat, we speak to Ta'Mara Hill, Policy Officer at the Center for Victims of Torture (CVT), who works on building CVT's portfolio on US-based human rights abuses – targeting police brutality, criminal justice reform, and other related issues. Ta’Mara shares about her work in the Healing, Incarceration, and Policing (or HIP) program and policy initiatives to make change in Minnesota.

    Ep 03: Holistic Self Care for Changemakers: A Conversation with Loretta Pyles

    Activists do such crucial work–fighting against injustices and protecting the most vulnerable, yet this challenging work often has a detrimental effect on activist mental health. Activists and human rights defenders experience high levels of fatigue, burnout, and secondary trauma. In this episode of Human Rights Chat, New Tactics staff interview Loretta Pyles, author of Healing Justice: Holistic Self-Care for Changemakers. We discuss systemic barriers to the right to rest and leisure and what individuals and organizations can do to counter the mental health risks of activism.
