The overall objective of the workshop is to enhance the protection and promotion of fundamental freedoms, particularly freedom of association and peaceful assembly, and to create a more supportive human rights environment in the Middle East. The training aims to achieve this by fostering civil human rights actors and community members' support for these freedoms and by enabling civil society actors, including human rights defenders (HRDs), academics, activists, CSOs, and governmental stakeholders, to contribute significantly to human rights advancements within a limited or restrictive civic space. It is expected that the training will contribute to strengthening the capacity of civil society organizations (CSOs) to advocate for human rights.
