Mobilisation – Bosnia and Herzegovina
You can’t do it alone! Whether at local, regional or national level, mobilising for the right to education must be a team effort by all civil society actors. Only then can one hope to effect change and bring the government to live up to its legal obligation to respect, protect and fulfil the rights of its citizens. So join forces with the national coalitions on education, NGOs, networks of human rights lawyers, teacher unions and international partners.
