Participants
Levels of participating
Individuals
Together with our partner organisations, we raise awareness 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
Promoting networks and exchanges, not only among our partner organisations, but also with external actors, is one of our priorities. Our advisor programme envisages to do just that by encouraging the organisational development of our partners.
Societies
Together with our partner organisations 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. Furthermore, we team up with the media and the public to incorporate human rights in their agendas.
