  • Bangladesh and Bangladesh-U.S. Relations
    Bangladesh and Bangladesh-U.S. Relations Updated October 17, 2017 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44094 Bangladesh and Bangladesh-U.S. Relations Summary Bangladesh (the former East Pakistan) is a Muslim-majority nation in South Asia, bordering India, Burma, and the Bay of Bengal. It is the world’s eighth most populous country with nearly 160 million people living in a land area about the size of Iowa. It is an economically poor nation, and it suffers from high levels of corruption. In recent years, its democratic system has faced an array of challenges, including political violence, weak governance, poverty, demographic and environmental strains, and Islamist militancy. The United States has a long-standing and supportive relationship with Bangladesh, and it views Bangladesh as a moderate voice in the Islamic world. In relations with Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital, the U.S. government, along with Members of Congress, has focused on a range of issues, especially those relating to economic development, humanitarian concerns, labor rights, human rights, good governance, and counterterrorism. The Awami League (AL) and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) dominate Bangladeshi politics. When in opposition, both parties have at times sought to regain control of the government through demonstrations, labor strikes, and transport blockades, as well as at the ballot box. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been in office since 2009, and her AL party was reelected in January 2014 with an overwhelming majority in parliament—in part because the BNP, led by Khaleda Zia, boycotted the vote. The BNP has called for new elections, and in recent years, it has organized a series of blockades and strikes.

  • Advocacy for Refugees and Asylum Seekers Literature Review
    A4 ANNEX 1 ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES BY MINORITY ETHNIC GROUPS ADVOCACY FOR REFUGEES AND ASYLUM SEEKERS LITERATURE REVIEW This review covers literature within the following themes: • Advocacy • Language usage • Health of ethnic groups • The 2001 Census, health and immigration • The new Choice Agenda in the NHS • Understanding minority ethnic communities Advocacy 1. Building Bridges for Health – Exploring the potential of advocacy in London, Baljinder Heer, King’s Fund working paper, December 2004 This working paper is part of Putting Health First, a programme of work set up by the King’s Fund to explore the idea of a health system that gives priority to promoting health and reducing inequalities as well as delivering health services. Disadvantaged individuals and groups need effective ways of linking into such a system to ensure they receive the best possible health maintenance and care. We believe that one way of doing this might be to create a stronger cohort of community based advocates to help disadvantaged and socially excluded groups again access to the knowledge and means to secure good health. An advocacy standards framework for BME communities was developed and published in March 2002 and has been used by NW London StHA and Croydon PCT. 2.

  • How to Start a Citizen Advocacy Group, Consumer Voice
    How to Start a Citizen Advocacy Group The information in this section is from the NCCNHR Toolkit for Advocates – Chapter 1 , located at http://nccnhr.org/sites/default/files/advocate/whats-new/BasicElements.pdf When organizing a citizen advocacy group (CAG), it is necessary to develop a mission statement. Whether your CAG is a formalized organization or an informal group of concerned citizens, it is helpful for the group to have a clear mission statement to ensure that the CAG is staying true to its values and purpose. After developing the mission statement, it is important for CAGs to establish an organizational structure, or hierarchy, that addresses the following points: • Executive leadership • Membership/Membership dues • External support • Potential obstacles CAGs must also decide whether or not to incorporate as a nonprofit organization. Although most donors and funders will not give money to organizations that are not incorporated as a nonprofit, incorporation is not necessary but is beneficial for the CAG’s long-term sustainability and efficacy. While legitimizing the CAG to policy-makers, incorporation also requires additional responsibilities that CAG members must be prepared for. CAGs that do decide to incorporate should then apply for 501(c)(3) status from the IRS. It is important to note that CAGs that apply for nonprofit status should be aware of the lobbying restrictions of a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. After applying for incorporation, CAGs should establish an effective and diverse board of directors, and write the organization’s bylaws. The bylaws are essentially the “constitution” of the organization, and will serve to govern the organization’s day-to-day activities as well as provide a direction for the CAG’s government in the future.

  • Using Transnational Advocacy Networks to Challenge Restrictions on Religion: Christian Minorities in Malaysia and India
    Using Transnational Advocacy Networks to Challenge Restrictions on Religion: Christian Minorities in Malaysia and India A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science of the College of Arts and Sciences by Kristina M. Teater M.A. Wright State University B.A. Milligan College July 2019 Committee Chair: Laura Dudley Jenkins, Ph.D. ii Abstract State-imposed restrictions on religious freedom challenge the rights of minorities. While some minorities live in authoritarian regimes, others live in countries with religious rights institutionalized in national constitutions and international human rights treaties. Despite these guarantees, minorities face restrictions on religion through laws and regulations that restrict what religion they choose and limit how they practice their faith. Thus minorities that in theory are supposed to have religious freedom also encounter religious freedom restrictions in practice. Faced with blockages that restrict their religious rights, minorities at times turn to transnational advocacy networks (TANs). Through my analysis of Christian minorities in Malaysia and India, I discover what some of these blockages are and how minorities and their transnational partners have negotiated with the state in recent legal challenges to Christians’ rights. I focus on the agency and strategies of minorities by listening to their opinions, arguments, and reasoning, as articulated through interviews, legal documents, and an original survey. In doing so, this study differs from recent scholarship that traces the structure and organization of TANs. I find that how Christian minorities use transnational advocacy networks is dependent on the political opportunities that are available to them domestically.

How Our Group Got Started In 1993 MBW Company made a commitment to assist people they support in having a self-advocacy group in New Ulm. We started with staff researching what self-advocacy is and presented the idea to the people we thought would be interested. We found about ten people who said they wanted to find out more about this. The next thing we did was to set up an information meeting. We had two speakers who were in self-advocacy come talk with us. We talked about what self-advocacy means and what would make our lives better. In our beginning meetings we all agreed that we wanted a better transportation system and better working conditions at our sheltered workshop. These two issues helped bring people together and created the enthusiasm and commitment we have today. II. Election of Officers We used the officers’ handbook to help us elect officers.
