The Role of the Foundation for Human Rights in the ’16 Days of Activism’ Campaign

Introduction

This report outlines the findings of a brief research on the impact of the Foundation for Human Rights’ 16 Days of Activism programme for the years 2003 and 2004. A discussion of impact is most useful when framed within the context. In terms of this research there are three key contextual factors: the campaign itself, the social problem and the organisational context in which project are functioning.

Thus the first three sections of the report focus on these areas. Thereafter, the report moves into an analysis of the Foundation’s intervention; examining both qualitative and quantitative aspects. This analysis provides a lens to identify challenges and successes and finally make recommendations.
