Transformative Advocacy: Collaborating Towards Environmental Justice in Bolivia

Category: Tours

In September-October 2006, a team of lawyers and legal professionals will travel to Bolivia , to conduct a short-term advocacy project in conjunction with grassroots women environmental leaders. With the intentions of effecting immediate positive change, directing resources towards sustained women's environmental leadership, and building trust and understanding among diverse members of the global environmental movement, the team will develop and implement an advocacy strategy. This may entail document development and distribution, engagement with governmental and industry representatives, and/ or media involvement, and may occur in local, regional, or international fora. Upon returning to the United States, the delegates will participate in an active and comprehensive follow-up process with the women leaders.
