Human Rights Council (HRC)
The Human Rights Council (HRC) is the key intergovernmental body within the United Nations system responsible for the promotion and protection of all human rights around the globe. It holds three regular sessions a year: in March, June and September. The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is the secretariat for the HRC.
The HRC works by:
-
Debating and passing resolutions on global human rights issues and human rights situations in particular countries
-
Examining complaints from victims of human rights violations or activist organizations on behalf of victims of human rights violations
-
Appointing independent experts (known as “Special Procedures”) to review human rights violations in specific countries and examine and further global human rights issues
-
Engaging in discussions with experts and governments on human rights issues
-
Assessing the human rights records of all UN Member States every four and a half years through the Universal Periodic Review
AWID works with feminist, progressive and human rights partners to share key knowledge, convene civil society dialogues and events, and influence negotiations and outcomes of the session.
With our partners, our work will:
◾️ Monitor, track and analyze anti-rights actors, discourses and strategies and their impact on resolutions
◾️ Raise awareness of the findings of the 2017 and 2021 OURs Trends Reports.
◾️Support the work of feminist UN experts in the face of backlash and pressure
◾️Advocate for state accountability
◾️ Work with feminist movements and civil society organizations to advance rights related to gender and sexuality.

Snippet FEA Nous Sommes la Solution (FR)
Nous Sommes la Solution est un mouvement de femmes rurales pour la souveraineté alimentaire en Afrique de l'Ouest. Fondée à l'origine comme une campagne contre l'agriculture hyper-industrialisée, Nous Sommes la Solution est devenue un mouvement de plus de 500 associations de femmes rurales du Burkina Faso, du Sénégal, du Ghana, de la Gambie, de la Guinée Bissau, du Mali et de la Guinée.
Ensemble, ce mouvement dirigé par des femmes construit et renforce la souveraineté alimentaire et semencière en Afrique de l'Ouest. Elles nourrissent les communautés, renforcent les économies locales, amplifient les connaissances des agricultrices et atténuent les effets dévastateurs du changement climatique grâce aux pratiques de l'agroécologie. Elles organisent également des ateliers, des forums et des émissions de radio communautaires pour partager leurs messages, leurs connaissances traditionnelles et leurs pratiques agroécologiques dans les communautés rurales.
En collaboration avec des universités et des centres de recherche publics, Nous Sommes la Solution travaille à la restauration des variétés indigènes traditionnelles de riz (un aliment de base en Afrique de l'Ouest) et à la promotion d'économies alimentaires locales basées sur des principes agroécologiques pour influencer l'élaboration des politiques nationales, tout en soutenant les femmes dans la création d'associations agricoles et leur accès à la propriété et à la gestion collectives des terres agricoles.
