Participants
Levels of participating
Individuals
Together with our partner organisations, we raise awareness and provide information about human rights among people who have been marginalised. In cases of human rights violations, we strive to provide the best possible support to those affected so that they can assert their own rights.
Organisations
Strengthening and promoting networks and exchanges, not only among our partner organizations, but also with external actors, is one of our priorities. Our technical advisor programme envisages to do just that by encouraging the organizational development of our Partners.
Societies
Together with our partners we provide trainings for leadership and political participation to combat human rights violations and to engage in policy dialogue. We back up human rights advocacy to put pressure towards good governance and legislation that complies with human rights. Furthermore, we team up with the media and the public to lobby for and incorporate human rights in their agendas.
