Arab Network for Human Rights and Citizenship Education (ANHRE)

 

We looked for a short name of the network that makes it easier for people to remember, and gives the network a meaning that suits its objectives. Ideas were lost and scattered, the word came from the Sudan and the word "Anhre” to give the meaning of giving, taking, mixing, continuity, life, hope and love, as well as, to give a meaning of insistence on crossing borders in order to reach our ambitions and aspirations and dreams that grew within us since we were young.

We say our dream in a homeland, in which a person feels that his freedom protects and respects the sanctity of man and his citizenship.
