Sr. Nuala Brangan IBVM, Institute of the
Blessed Virgin Mary (Loreto), works as National
Coordinator and Executive Director of the
Justice and Peace Commission - AOSK (Association
of Sisterhood of Kenya) - in Nairobi, Kenya.
During 2007, my core work was with the team to
plan and assign programmes for the four major
Human Rights Programmes of the Justice and Peace
Commission of AOSK. Firstly, in terms of the
planning and design of programmes for:
- Civic Education
- Peace Building and Interfaith Dialogue
- Human Rights Advocacy
- Organisational Capacity Building.
And secondly, the planning and implementation of major justice
events for whole of Kenya such as: International Women’s Day, World
Environment Day and in particular, Human Rights Day. Finally, I also
coordinated the design and distribution of multimedia publications
on the topics of justice, peace, and the environment nationwide.
Further to this we also ran workshops for women in good governance
and peace studies, and a debt campaign.
The latter involved advocacy and lobbying and the participation of
over fifty schools in a Schools Training Programme around Human
Rights, and included organising speakers, materials, exhibits,
posters and so on. Additionally, we gathered over 5,000 participants
in workshops on voter education in advance of the winter elections.
