Last 26-27 January 2011, DAWN convened in Manila, Philippines, a small capacity-building workshop of women and men activists working on economic justice in the rural area/agriculture sector in the Asia region. The overall objective of the workshop was to contribute to a more holistic, integrative and interlinkages approach to analysis and advocacy among CSOs/NGOs that include women’s rights/gender justice advocates, in the Asian and Philippine contexts.

DAWN shares to the public some of the workshop presentations as a way of enlarging the initial discussions held in Manila such as the following:

1. Introduction to DAWN and Interlinkages Analysis by Anita Nayar

2. Introduction to the Kuala Lumpur Guidelines: Demystifying the Legal Language of Human Rights and Linking This to Economic Policy by Aldo Caliari

3. Utilizing the Human Rights Mechanism for Demanding State Obligation in Human Rights in Relation to Economic Policies and Program by Joel Lasam
