“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights”
Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948)
Vision
Our vision is for men and women living in poverty and exclusion to be able to organise, strategise and act to assert their human rights.
Mission
Equalinrights’ mission is to advance understanding and use of human-rights based strategies in the global struggle against poverty, marginalization and exclusion.
We work with development and human rights practitioners worldwide, to exchange, create and promote strategies, methodologies and tools attuned to specific contexts.
To support these efforts, Equalinrights offers face-to-face and interactive online platforms for practitioners to connect and share with others their skills, knowledge and experience about bottom-up human rights-based development. We are committed to sharing and disseminating resources, particularly through the use of ICT.
