Working with the United
Nations Human Rights Programme: A Handbook for Civil Society is addressed to
the civil society actors who, every day in every part of the world, contribute to the
promotion, protection and advancement of human rights. This comprehensively
updated and revised second edition puts United Nations human rights bodies and
mechanisms at its center. Speaking to all civil society actors, including but
not only non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the Handbook explains how civil
society can engage with various United Nations human rights bodies and
mechanisms. It is the hope of the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) that this Handbook will enable more
people to enjoy and make claim to their human rights through these bodies and mechanisms.

This is one of the most international coalitions to ever join in calling for the release of a Chinese AIDS activist — and includes the Asia-Pacific Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (APN+) and South Africa’s 2-million-strong labor union, COSATU, among many other notable names from Asia, Africa and the US.
Darius Longarino writes:
Last summer, I worked for Yirenping, a domestic Chinese NGO that specializes in anti-discrimination litigation. They focus on Hepatitis B discrimination, but also recently brought the first ever HIV discrimination case to be accepted by a
Chinese court (they lost, but are appealing). The staff at Yirenping asked me to circulate the job announcement (link below) widely. The deadline is February 28th, but I believe they will be choosing applicants in a semi-rolling fashion, so it
will be better for people to apply sooner rather than later.

With the beginning of the new year, Asia Catalyst paved the ground for rapid growth of our capacity building program in China and Southeast Asia. This year in China, Asia Catalyst will begin short-term capacity-building partnerships of three to six months with seven new Chinese NGOs run by drug users, sex workers, and LGBT people — all communities directly affected by HIV/AIDS.
This year, an expanded technical assistance grant allowed us to issue a general call for applications from grassroots NGOs in China that want to strengthen their organizational management skills and build their future stability.
