16. Success Stories: A- NGO ADPRUM used DHRF FY02 funds to 
hold a series of activities relating to human rights issues 
in the district of Boane, near Maputo. The NGO organized a 
seminar to discuss a range of human rights issues, including 
the concept of democracy and discrimination against women in 
the labor sector. The seminar involved local authorities and 
traditional leaders, as well as local associations and 
economic actors. Following the seminar, a series of 
theatrical pieces were performed for 16 local communities 
carried out by the &Grupo de Teatro e Danca Tradicional8. 
At the end of each performance, the entire community was 
invited to discuss and debate human rights issues. There was 
strong community participation and the NGO itself expressed a 
general satisfaction with its accomplishment. 
 
17. B- A training seminar was also funded by DHRF FY02 and 
organized by AMODESE, a local NGO, for 32 community judges in 
the province of Tete in January 2003. The Seminar lasted 
five days and focused on the following topic: &Management, 
Resolution and Mediations of Community Conflicts8. Speakers 
analyzed different aspects of conflicts emphasizing in 
particular how to prevent, manage and resolve them. The 
purpose was to improve the judges, capabilities to negotiate 
and mediate disputes by promoting a process of peaceful 
resolution. The last day,s discussion also covered the law 
that regulates the local tribunals and its effective 
application. At the end of the seminar many of the community 
judges stated that the information they received was very 
useful and will help them in the process of hearing, 
analyzing and judging different community cases.
