After twenty-five year as a teacher, administrator, and human rights activist, Nancy Flowers now combines these interests as a consultant for human rights education. She has worked to develop Amnesty International’s education program and is a co-founder of Human Rights USA, a national human rights education coalition. As a consultant to governments, nongovernmental organizations, and UN agencies, she has helped establish national and international networks of educators, develop materials, and train activists, professionals, and military and police personnel in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and the Balkans.

She is the author of articles and books on human rights education, most recently Local Action/ Global Change: Learning about the Human Rights of Women and Girls (UNIFEM, 1999), the Human Rights Education Handbook (University of Minnesota, 2000), and editor of the University of Minnesota Human Rights Resource Center’s Human Rights Education Series.

Ms Flowers makes her home in Woodside, California.
