These days it's commonplace: we live in an information age. What perhaps we don't see as clearly is the way that information can empower a newly emerging civil society. Launching a campaign, building partnerships, advocating for a cause, reaching an audience—all these have enormous capacity to make change happen. AP helps partners use communications technologies to generate interest in and support for their causes. Our partners are assigned Peace Fellows (interns), receive an online newsservice, learn to disseminate information through up-to-date technology, training in advocacy, and benefit from organized events with supporters in North America and Europe.
Some of the issues that our partners work in are:-
* Prevention of torture and human rights abuses in Sri Lanka
* Promoting workers' rights in the Middle East
* Supporting survivors of human trafficking in Europe
* Fighting caste discrimination in Nepal
* Supporting and advocating for street children in Kenya
* Educating girls in Afghanistan
* Supporting victims of violence in Guatemala,
* Educating and rehabilitating the blind in Bangladesh
* Upholding the rights of the Romany ("Gypsies") in Europe
