Founded in 1989 as a non-profit, international service organization with a deep belief in the power of human rights learning for economic and social transformation. We have worked directly and indirectly with our network of affiliates and partners in over 60 countries around the world to develop and advance the learning about human rights as way of life, enabling women and men to re-imagine their lives and discover their own power to define the destiny of their community. Participating in the planning of their future, the human rights framework provides them with the guideline to pursue their hopes. We are being constantly revitalized by actions being taken in the community to create a space for a meaningful change as a result of internalizing the praxis of human rights. Assuming social responsibility, people move away from humiliation to belong in their community in dignity with others. Programs are planned by, for, and with communities to: - Catalyze and enhance mentoring and monitoring; - Promote gender equality; - Enhance local human and social development programs; - Take actions to overcome discrimination; - Strengthen citizens' equal and informed participation in the decision-making process - Enable people to become agents of change
