The wicked never sleep but we are still going to have a short break around Christmas and will not bother you unless it is extremely urgent and pertinent. For those who want some more serious reading over the holidays I refer to the
interesting study on the state of affairs with regard to the protection of women human rights defenders made public by :
on http://urgent-responses.awid.org/index.php/Home
A concrete overview of its work is on behalf of women human rights defenders is included in: study on women HRDs and urgent responses
With this I wish you a pleasant holiday
