作
为服务于边缘和弱势群体的草根组织，我们最常接触的就是权利侵害事件。我们常常困惑：除了基本的服务，我们还能帮什么？我们能做什么？《证实：记录人权侵
害》告诉我们，首先要证实侵害的存在。而受害者的证言，则是我们有力的工具。本书介绍如何设计和开展以人权记录为目的研究，并且避免草根组织研究能力不
足、专业性不够的缺点，发挥草根组织的社区优势，撰写出让人信服的报告。本书同时配有《教师手册》，帮助有能力的组织开展人权记录的培训。
“了解、证实、改变”系列主要面向艾滋病领域的草根组织，帮助他们了解人 群的基本权利、调查记录和人权侵害的情况、计划和开展倡导运动。本系列共 分为三册：
《了解：人权知识框架》：讨论国际人权法及其在艾滋病病毒感染者和其 他边缘群体中的应用；
《改变：终止人权侵害》：在调查研究的基础上，如何开展本地、全国乃 至国际性的人权倡导运动。
每一册都包括课本和教师手册。课本介绍基本知识和操作步骤；教师手册 则根据课本的内容，提供课程计划、案例练习、培训工具等等，以便草根组织在开展工作坊或培训时使用。
