I would use the knowledge gained to educate my fellow peers and colleagues, I would educate clients who come to see me and inform them better of their rights and the mechanisms available on how we can hold the state accountable.

The Diplomacy Training Program’s 24th Annual Human Rights and Peoples’ Diplomacy Training for Human Rights Defenders in the Asia-Pacific was held in Nepal from 3rd- 19th of November 2014. Thirty one participants, representing fourteen countries- Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, South Korea, Thailand, Timor-Leste and the United Arab Emirates, participated in the seventeen day residential program. The Informal Sector Service Centre (INSEC) partnered with DTP in providing the training.

The program also provided participants with an opportunity to share their own experiences and skills, and to network with one another, governmental officials, DTP alumni and trainers. Participants prepared presentations on the human rights concerns in their own countries and on the work they are involved in as part of their preparation for the program. These presentations were shared throughout the program and were very much valued by other participants, trainers and organisers.
