Our work

We organize communities to defend human rights.

Our programmes

The work spans seven programme areas.

Our Five-Year Strategic Plan organizes the work into seven areas. Each one is delivered through our chapters, alongside the national secretariat.

Human Rights Advocacy and Protection

We strengthen community documentation, legal referral pathways, rapid response and advocacy so that violations are recorded, escalated and answered rather than forgotten.

Partnerships and Movement Building

We build coalitions with civil society organizations, legal actors, academia, media and grassroots networks, because no single center can defend a community on its own.
