In June 2007, the West African Research Association and Center, Brandeis University, and the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights held a two-day multidisciplinary workshop in Dakar, Senegal. This event represented the launch of the Know Your Rights! project – run collaboratively by Brandeis, the Commission, and WARC – which focuses on critical issues involved in translating and disseminating human rights documents in African languages.
