Welcome

Rights Initiative is an independent social enterprise advancing economic and social 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. Human rights are non-negotiable entitlements of every human being.

States have the obligation to respect, protect and fulfil human rights. They have committed to take steps, to the maximum of their available resources, to progressively achieve the full realization of human rights by all appropriate means. This is enshrined in many international agreements, conventions, constitutions and national laws, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement. And yet, as duty bearers, states provide insufficient resources to finance their commitments and realize rights.

Our co-creation services support fundraising for civil society activists to advocate for economic and social rights.
