Definition and Purpose

Human rights advocacy refers to the efforts made by NGOs to promote and protect human rights at the international, regional, and local levels.

Key Strategies

Research and Documentation: NGOs conduct research and gather evidence to document human rights abuses and violations.
Advocacy and Lobbying: NGOs use their research to advocate for policy changes, laws, and international agreements that promote and protect human rights.
Campaigning and Mobilization: NGOs mobilize public opinion, organize campaigns, and engage in protests to raise awareness about human rights issues and push for change.
Networking and Collaboration: NGOs build alliances with other organizations, governments, and international institutions to amplify their voices and increase their impact.

Key Issues

Civil and Political Rights: NGOs advocate for the protection of civil and political rights, including freedom of expression, assembly, and association.
Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights: NGOs promote the fulfillment of economic, social, and cultural rights, including the rights to education, healthcare, and an adequate standard of living.
Women's Rights and Gender Equality: NGOs work to promote women's rights and gender equality, including the elimination of discrimination and violence against women.
Migrant and Refugee Rights: NGOs advocate for the protection of the rights of migrants and refugees, including access to education, healthcare, and social services.
