The network Net-to-Rights was ets. in 2004. Net to Rights aims to advocate against domestic violence against women, and has created the framework for capacity building at field, management and network level. The aim of the Network is to increase the capacities and possibilities to advocate for women’s rights in Bangladesh. Initially the network consisted of 7 partnerorganisations of the Swallows in Denmark. These organisations joined together and created the network “Net to Right” in 2004. Within a period of three years and six months, the project strengthened its organisation in order to enhance their work with women’s rights at three levels: field, organisational and local political level. The organisations will, besides learning from discussions of their experiences and knowledge, have the possibility to arrange and participate in seminars and workshop based on their specific needs and capacities.
