The purpose of this manual is to provide a tool for marginalized or discriminated groups, and the civil society organizations that work on their behalf, to advocate for the equal rights and opportunities of all citizens, regardless of their gender, religious or ethnic belonging. Its creation has been based on experiences and lessons learned drawn from advocacy work in the Middle East and endless efforts of DCAs partners to promote democracy and human rights for all citizens in this part of the world. This manual is co-authored by PCDD
