Name of the Book : Al-Bawbab Tree and the Superficial Contradiction between Culture and Human Rights
Subject: a new book issued recently in Arabic by the Women's Forum for Research and Training (WFRT) titled " Al-Bawbab Tree and the Superficial Contradiction between Culture and Human Rights" as it is the translation for the English original edition which released by the international program of training courses in human rights field (IHRIP) in Washington, USA. The Arabic edition is issued as a mutual and cooperative product between WFRT and IHRIP (it is worthy to mention that this is the 2nd mutual edition between the two organizations).
The book includes 7 chapters and 5 appendixes with 132 pages that the 1st chapter is discussing culture and its content as how can we look at it as activists through defined examples from the reality. The book is discussing culture and power in the 2nd chapter, culture and gender in the 3rd chapter, culture and human rights besides culture and human rights activity in the 4th and 5th chapters, investigating and reserving truths within the field of culture and human rights in the 6th chapter, and in the 7th chapter, the book is displaying how to develop strategies about issues of culture and human rights.
The book supposes that culture is fundamental for mankind, so culture-related rights are one of the most important human rights as this is representing the book objective in the first place. The Women's Forum of Research and Training (WFRT) through this Arabic edition of this book, seeks providing help to the non-governmental organizations working in human rights field and to human rights activists in order to collect best experiences, analysis and ideas about issues of culture and rights, because we realize that issues of economic, social and cultural rights had provoked many organizations to consider human rights from a new view instead of considering it as regular standards be applied for everybody regardless of properties characterizing the different communities. The book title has some kind of symbolism as it is borrowed from one of the successful organizations in the field of culture and human rights in Africa.
