The project aspires to enhance support to human rights on the levels of public policy, society, and regional communities. It is expected that after the implementation of the project, the observance of international human rights standards in Lithuania will be strengthened, the awareness of the needs of vulnerable communities will be raised among specialists and journalists, and youth in the regions will be better able to recognise gender-based violence and find ways of responding to it.

| Project aim | The project aims: a) to strengthen the monitoring of human rights situation in Lithuania by proposing to policy and decision makers public policy solutions that are in line with international human rights standards; b) to mobilize public support for these solutions and build public resilience towards undemocratic and human rights’ restricting initiatives. The project also aims to change the attitudes towards vulnerable groups among the specialists encountering people from vulnerable groups in their work and journalist reporting on these groups, by engaging them into awareness raising activities and including in these activities representatives from vulnerable groups. |
