Since 1997, INSGENAR, in conjunction with PDHRE (People's Movement for Human Rights Education), has been developing activities to promote Rosario as a Human Rights City, in the framework of the UN Decade for Human Rights Education.
The plan of action was based on the collaboration of diverse institutions in the community which are all committed to promoting respect for Human Rights, equity and peace.
On July 30th, 1997 more than 35 institutions (including organizations representing Human Rights, indigenous groups, sexual diversity groups, academic interests, development work groups, and the Women's Movement) signed a proclamation of their commitment, called the Act of Commitment, to build a human rights community in Rosario. The group gathered and signed this Act at Rosario's City Hall in the presence of the president of PDHRE, Shulamith Koenig.
