Training Women on the Right to Communicate as a Human Right, Observatório Negro, Brazil. This project will be implemented by Observatorio Negro in partnership with the Cidadania Feminina and collectives of low-income women. Taking place in Pernambuco, the project plans to empower young female Afro-Brazilian feminist activists to effectively intervene in the public sphere to defend human rights through communication and to overcome gender and race-based discrimination perpetuated through mass media. Understanding communication as political action, the project will monitor media content while as an act of advocacy, the project will facilitate seminars, reflection groups and training workshops on critical analysis of media content. The project will enable public engagement with mass media, visibilizing young Afro-Brazilian women on the Internet and sensitising media professionals to combat racism. Observatório Negro was established in 2004 as an activist civil society organisation working for the rights of Afro-Brazilians against racism and for racial equality.
