The first piece of advice I would have from my experience is that governments need to be vocal about human rights.

All governments should be pressured to correct their abuses of human rights.

[Joe Solmonese, president of Human Rights Campaign, a national gay-rights advocacy group, said the experience of Washington's outer suburbs underscores changes in attitudes.] We're talking about our community's willingness and comfort level living anywhere, ... And not just our own community, but society's view has changed so much in the last few years.

Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights.

Gay rights are human rights.

No references to the need to fight terror can be an argument for restricting human rights.
