Global Rights

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Global Rights is an international human rights advocacy group "that partners with local activists to challenge injustice and amplify new voices within the global discourse. With offices in countries around the world, we help local activists create just societies through proven strategies for effecting change." Global Rights emphasizes promoting women's human rights and combating discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity or sexual orientation.[1]

In December 2003 they changed their name so that after 25 years as the International Human Rights Law Group, they would be thereafter known as Global Rights: Partners for Justice. [2]
