Summary

• Work alongside communities or individuals.
• Legal case work and advisory/individual advocacy services.
• Third sector networking and capacity building, including support to individual human rights defenders.
• Awareness raising, advocacy and campaigning.
• Research and policy activity, including work on contributing to human rights reporting and shadow reporting.
