Achieving Equal Access to human rights for those living in poverty

We undertake education and advocacy to have human rights considerations placed at the centre of efforts to eradicate poverty, so that those living in poverty have access to rights.

Many development and poverty eradication efforts do not address human rights violations that underlie poverty and/or are not effective because they fail to incorporate respect of human rights as a means of eradicating poverty.

People living in poverty also continue to face discrimination as well as significant barriers to accessing legal remedies and justice.

Therefore, we are focusing on challenging the barriers faced by the poor to resources, services and justice as well as the failure of poverty eradication efforts to consistently advance human rights.
