Human
Rights At Law Forum believes that it is important and necessary to enable the
marginalised to exercise active participation as leaders in combating poverty.
In
several communities, people living in poverty are denied the information,
freedom of expression and means of active participation in decisions which
affect their lives. We are therefore focusing on means of increasing the
recognition of participation rights of people living in poverty, as well as
their right to information and to defend their human rights.
HRALF
is working regularly in partnership with other stakeholders in seeking to
create models of good practice for the participation of affected individuals
and communities.
Our
approach to the Sustainable Development Goals, especially goal one which is to
end poverty, will be a broader aim to change
the debate on poverty and create a strategic platform in the discussion and
the understanding of the causes of poverty.
HRALF
will reach out to a wide range of audiences and introduce a new analysis that
people especially in rural communities can draw on in their understanding of
and their approach to poverty – one that is human rights centred.
Through
community action and public engagement, we will aim to create a broad based and
visible constituency that both understands the role that human rights abuses
play in driving and deepening poverty and advocate for the respect, protection
and fulfilment of human rights as part of the solution to poverty.
