NGO coalition on Human Rights |
|
10 December 1998 marked the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations Universal Declaration on Human Rights. With a view to commemorating this anniversary, the Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre invited a number of local and regional non-government and community based organisations to attend a meeting to discuss ways in which this could be done. The meeting led to the formation of the NGO Coalition on Human Rights which comprises 15 local and regional NGOs committed to the promotion of human rights. The Coalition was launched on 10 December 1997 during the World Human Rights Day march and rally which was organised by FWCC. |
