Advocating for equality and justice
Your support helps us elevate the voices of our local partners
Where communities suffer from protracted conflict and poverty, aid must go hand-in-hand with advocacy. We gather first-hand evidence of oppression and injustice. We take time to understand people’s needs and priorities. We promote locally-led solutions for a robust international response.
Abyei
We witnessed the aftermath of a massacre in the Dinka village of Kolom, where armed Misseriya killed and injured villagers, abducted children, destroyed the local church and clinic, and burned homes. We combined aid with advocacy to support the local people and shine a spotlight on their suffering.
Syria
We strive to elevate the voice of ordinary Syrians who, after years of violent conflict, are badly impacted by economic sanctions. People across the country tell us how sanctions restrict access to food supplies and accelerate the local currency’s devaluation, contributing to skyrocketing prices and falling wages.
Nagorno Karabakh
We campaign on behalf of Armenian prisoners of war and civilian detainees who are vulnerable to killings, torture, indefinite imprisonment or enslavement – with reports of humiliating treatment and desecration of corpses by Azerbaijani soldiers, in actions captured on videos and circulated on social media.
