CONCEPT<br />

THE BARANGAY HUMAN RIGHTS ACTION<br />

CENTERS (<str<strong>on</strong>g>BHRAC</str<strong>on</strong>g>) PROGRAM:<br />

A Nati<strong>on</strong>wide Mobilizati<strong>on</strong><br />

for <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Rights</strong> Protecti<strong>on</strong><br />

and Advocacy at the Barangay Level<br />

The Barangay <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Rights</strong> Acti<strong>on</strong> Centers has been c<strong>on</strong>ceived<br />

so that <str<strong>on</strong>g>Commissi<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Rights</strong> will be within the reach<br />

of the people, specially in the far flung areas. With the activati<strong>on</strong><br />

of the center, complainants especially those coming from remote<br />

areas can save time and effort not to menti<strong>on</strong> financial expenses<br />

in filing their complaints. Likewise, Educati<strong>on</strong> and informati<strong>on</strong><br />

campaigns can readily be brought down to the grassroots level.<br />

The idea of the <str<strong>on</strong>g>BHRAC</str<strong>on</strong>g> Program is a “Nati<strong>on</strong>wide Mobilizati<strong>on</strong><br />

Program for <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Rights</strong> Protecti<strong>on</strong> and Advocacy at the<br />

Barangay Level”. Its primary objective is to instituti<strong>on</strong>alize <strong>Human</strong><br />

<strong>Rights</strong> in the local government units as well as empower the<br />

grassroots level in implementing human rights policies, programs<br />

and projects.<br />
