Welcome
Rights Initiative is an independent social enterprise advancing economic, social and political rights. Everyone should be treated equally, regardless of race, color, class, place of birth, belief, sexual orientation, age or any other factor.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights protects economic, social, cultural and civil and political rights. These include, among many others, the right to health, the right to education, climate protection and freedom of expression.
Our co-creation services support fundraising for organizations advocating for climate, gender, economic, and social justice. Rights Initiative offers business development, proposal writing, advising and networking services.
Since 2021, Rights Initiative co-created proposals with a combined approved value of more than 30 million Euro. These funds flow directly to mostly African organizations defending human rights. Donors include, among others, the Open Society, Hewlett, Ford, and Gates Foundations, the European Union and governments, such as Norway and Sweden.
