HRE Subseries, 1990s-2001 and undated

Scope and content:

The HRE Subseries contains primarily administrative materials (correspondence, contracts and other financial documents, reports, and evaluations) from the late 1990s that pertain to SIGI's major core program, the Human Rights Education Project, a series of 12 workshops aimed at empowering women in Muslim societies to define and reclaim their human rights. Countries most frequently represented in the subseries include Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Syria, and Uzbekistan. There is also extensive material from Jordan and Lebanon, where the HRE Project, in cooperation with the Learning and Partnership Project, incorporated computer and office training. Materials from Jordan and Lebanon are accompanied by a large number of photographs. Finally, there are documents related to SIGI's HRE radio projects. (Please note that eight audiocassettes originally located together with HRE ratio projects materials can now be found in the Audiovisual Materials Series.)

The subseries is organized alphabetically by country or region; materials within each group are in original alphabetical order. At the end of each country/region group, there are materials related to the more recent extension of the HRE Project, "Expanding HRE," as well as HRE Reports that were originally filed together.
