Overview of the Programs
The PPM implements its programs through the following five KEY FUNCTIONS.

The Human Rights program aims at empowering young individuals and community leaders to promote human rights in their society and encouraging them to take a critical analysis of their own rights. The Human rights Training program promotes values, beliefs and attitudes that encourage all individuals to uphold their own rights and those of others. It develops an understanding of everyone's common responsibility to make human rights a reality in their community. This program is an organized effort to transfer the knowledge and develop the skills and attitudes that encourage behavior to promote and protect human rights.
