KNOW IT, PROVE IT, CHANGE IT! A RIGHTS CURRICULUM FOR GRASSROOTS GROUPS series is created specifically to help grassroots organizations in communities affected by HIV/AIDS to understand their basic rights, document rights abuses, and design and implement advocacy campaigns. The series has three parts:

  • PROVE IT: BASICS OF RIGHTS DOCUMENTATION explains how to plan and conduct rights research. Available in English, 中文, and Thai

  • CHANGE IT: ENDING RIGHTS ABUSES shows how to plan and conduct local, national, and international advocacy based on the research. [Available December 2012]

Each book includes a manual, which describes the steps to take; and a trainers supplement, which has lesson plans, sample exercises, and templates to use in a training or workshop.
