Citizens in Parliament: legislative initiatives for human rights

The project aimed to encourage citizens’ legislative initiatives on human rights and greater involvement of citizens and civil society organisations in law-making processes.

The project “Citizens in Parliament: legislative initiatives for human rights” aimed to strengthen the participation of citizens and civil society organisations in legislative processes, especially on issues related to human rights.

The project encouraged and supported citizens’ legislative initiatives, so that citizens would have greater opportunities to take an active part in shaping laws and public policies that affect their rights and daily lives.

The project delivered a number of training sessions and activities aimed at improving the knowledge and skills of civil society organisations in advocacy, communication with institutions and preparing legislative initiatives.

The project also helped improve cooperation between the civil sector and Parliament, opening space for better-informed, better-organised and more effective citizen participation in democratic processes.
