Tavaana/New Tactics Webinar 4: Building Human Rights Cultures and Institution...Tavaana
This document provides an overview of a webinar exploring PROMOTION tactics for building human rights cultures and institutions.

Five Steps to Tactical Innovation - Lesson 4Tavaana
The document describes tools from the Center for Victims of Torture called the Tactical Map and Spectrum of Allies for identifying relationships, allies, and opponents relevant to a human rights problem and developing strategies. The Spectrum of Allies tool involves plotting individuals, groups, and institutions on a spectrum from active supporters to active opponents based on their stance towards the goal of ending child marriages in Yemen, using the example of Nujood Ali. The tools are intended to help understand the terrain and key players in order to plan effective tactics. Participants are assigned to use these tools to analyze relationships relevant to their identified problem prior to the next session.

- Diversification reduces overall portfolio risk by combining investments whose returns are not perfectly correlated. Adding uncorrelated securities to a portfolio reduces the interactive risk that arises from price movements of different securities.
- Harry Markowitz established modern portfolio theory in 1952 by showing that knowledge of securities' expected returns, variances, and covariances allows construction of efficient portfolios that maximize return for a given risk level. His work demonstrated the importance of diversification and optimization in portfolio construction.
- Further research by Evans and Archer in 1968 found that even naively diversifying a portfolio by randomly selecting securities significantly reduces the dispersion of portfolio returns compared to holding single stocks. Their work reinforced the benefits of basic diversification.
Five Steps to Tactical Innovation - Lesson 6Tavaana
The document discusses using tactical innovation to achieve human rights goals. It outlines a 5-step process: 1) identify the problem, 2) build a common vision, 3) define the terrain, 4) explore and select tactics, 5) develop a plan of action. Key aspects are knowing the terrain, opponents, and yourself. Tactics should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound. The document provides examples of developing a plan of action, including setting goals, targets, tactics, tasks, responsibilities, timelines and resources needed.
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report. It finds that human influence has extremely likely caused warming since 1950, and that continued emissions will cause further warming and climate changes. Impacts are already occurring on all continents and oceans, affecting both ecosystems and human societies. While ambitious mitigation action is still possible and affordable to limit further warming to 2°C, delaying action will substantially increase challenges of meeting that goal. A combination of adaptation and substantial emissions reductions can limit climate change risks.
This document discusses the nature and scope of financial services. It begins by defining financial services and intermediation. It then describes the traditional and modern activities of financial services, including fund-based activities like underwriting and non-fund based activities like advisory services. Modern activities include project advisory, M&A assistance, and risk management services. Revenue sources include fund-based income from interest and investments, and fee-based income from services. Financial innovation was necessitated by factors like low profitability, competition, economic liberalization, and improved customer expectations.

Here are the steps for Exercise 1.0:
1. Ask participants to break into small groups of 3-4 people.
2. Instruct each group to brainstorm examples of advocacy they have seen or heard of. It could be from their own communities or other places they've learned about.
3. After 5 minutes, have each group share one example with the larger group. Write the examples on a flipchart as they are reported out.
4. Once all examples have been shared, look for common themes or elements among the examples. Guide a discussion with questions like:
- What was the issue or problem being addressed in each example?
- Who was advocating and who were they advocating to/about?

Insights of Engineering Technology and Organizational Leadership on Human Tra...Pablo Villa-Martinez
This document discusses using an interdisciplinary approach to address the complex issue of human trafficking. It proposes examining the problem through the lenses of engineering technology and organizational leadership. Engineering technology could play a role in decreasing the number of people targeted through technology solutions. Organizational leadership is important to ensure citizen safety from the acts, means and purposes of trafficking. The focus question is: how can engineering technology provide an affordable solution, while upholding ethics, to combat traffickers? An interdisciplinary approach is justified as the issue is too broad for a single discipline.

What kinds of risks might be involved? The tolerance for risk is very individual – some people want and need to join a demonstration; others would want to act as long as there is no physical danger or visibility of their participation (e.g., Turkey tactic – turning lights on and off)
In other words - Planning without action is futile. Action without planning can be fatal.
What do these pictures make you think of? Write ideas in the “free space” How have technological advances changed what we think is possible to do? What technology tools do you feel comfortable using? (e.g., Technology has made a big difference in our world today. I, personally, have seen the shift from letters, to FAX machines, to e-mail, to text messaging. As you learn about more tactics, the more possibilities there are that can be generated for adapting such ideas to news contexts and issues.)
Who do you think is the “target” of this tactic?
What constituency or group do you think this tactic is targeting?
Minimum wage law campaign in Korea Different tactics were used to keep the campaign moving (right side demonstration) Slogan – “can you live on 42 won a day ($.04 per day)? 2) They followed up the demonstration on a different day by inviting the press & public to have the “lunch” this worker could afford – rice and vegetables – on 42 won a day 3) They followed that by being creative on a hot day and they used coins frozen in a big ice cube – “her wages are melting away” These demonstrations made a HUGE impact for raising the minimum wage and changing the minimum wage law
Institute for Democracy in South Africa teaches community members how to understand, influence and monitor local, provincial and national government budgets to advance child-specific socio-economic rights. Can you think of another example where tactics can teach participants and observers how they can actually engage in the world? (e.g., Use of petitions in Argentina – to get the public to understand their rights and demand the government to change policy)
What kinds of capacities do you think you need to consider? (people, resources, ability to implement the chosen tactic, etc.) Example: Red clip boards – an organization began using volunteers and simple red clip boards to monitor judges and how they ruled on domestic violence cases to raise awareness of the unfairness of the process toward women. The “red clip board” tactic has now been used around the world.
What kinds of risks might be involved? The tolerance for risk is very individual – some people want and need to join a demonstration; others would want to act as long as there is no physical danger or visibility of their participation (e.g., Turkey tactic – turning lights on and off)
It is important to keep your BIG vision in mind as you think about the target you’ve identified and the tactics that can move you toward the direction of your goal.
