On May 29 to May 31, 2024, the Magway Region Human Rights Network (MHRN) conducted a human rights training session in Myanmar with the New Myanmar Foundation (NMF), aimed at empowering participants with knowledge and fostering a culture of respect for human rights. The training, attended by 15 participants, covered a comprehensive range of human rights topics tailored to the Myanmar context. The curriculum included an exploration of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. Participants were equipped with knowledge of mechanisms to address human rights violations. 

The training employed interactive presentations, group discussions, and case studies, providing participants with practical tools to identify and navigate human rights issues. The event successfully enhanced participants’ understanding of their fundamental rights and the mechanisms available to uphold them. Moving forward, the MHRN plans to continue organizing human rights training sessions across Magway Region, collaborating with participants to develop action plans for promoting human rights awareness and advocating for positive change within their communities. By equipping individuals with the knowledge and tools to protect their rights, the MHRN training program aims to make a lasting impact on Magway Region, promoting a society where human rights are respected and upheld.
