Business & Human Rights - to ensure governments put People over Profit; 2. UN Human Rights Mechanisms - to guarantee meaningful engagement of communities in International Accountability Mechanisms; 3. Women’s |

We hope to enable change in those areas by supporting: (1) Capacity Development of local communities; |
