“The tools and methodology we learned at ODIHR about
how to collect information, work with authorities and
create reports and info sheets were extremely helpful.
During the campaign we had to go beyond our internal
and external limits, and that is only possible if we take
care of ourselves. We used a lot of self-care tools and
methods presented during the training, and we became
better at caring for each other! Before this training I did
not realize how important it was to ensure psychological
support and wellbeing.”

Buket Atli participated in ODIHR’s Human
Rights Monitoring, Safety and Security
training in 2019, and is the co-ordinator of
the Right to Clean Air Platform in Turkey.
His organization brings together advocates for the right to live in an environment
with clean air and to protect the public
from air pollution, especially from coalfired power plants. After ODIHR’s training
and a year-long process that involved
co-ordinating various NGOs and intense
engagement with the media, their campaign reached 100,000 signatures and
social media outreach of 1 million. This
led the government to stop the operation
of 6 coal plants until they comply with
environmental laws.
