From 20 to 25 January 2007 the seventh edition of the World Social Forum (WSF) will take place in Nairobi, Kenya. Activists, social movements, networks, coalitions and other progressive forces from around the globe will gather in order to discuss alternatives to neoliberalism under the slogan 'another world is possible'. This year, the human rights theme has been centralised under the Human Dignity and Human Rights Caucus, covering issues varying from religion to gender and militarisation. Many different organisations have joined forces to coordinate the Caucus and even more have joined the Caucus to organise debates, workshops and seminars. Equalinrights, the resource centre and support network on human rights-based strategies for poverty eradication, is one of these organisations. For the WSF it would like to present the following events: 1. The power of power analysis: A how-to workshop on all in effective human rights-based advocacy Participatory workshop 2. The struggles and strategies of rights-based development in failed states: Somalia Debate, participatory documentaries, exploration of case studies 3. Human rights, universality and culture Panel discussion/debate 4. Come and help build a human rights city!
