INTERNATIONAL ADVOCACY
Connecting local struggles to the global human rights movement.
UICD brings community concerns into international human rights spaces and connects local issues to global standards for justice, dignity, and equality. We work with communities, organizations, and human rights networks to strengthen advocacy and hold governments accountable to their human rights obligations.
From Local to Global
Human rights issues experienced in our communities are connected to international standards and agreements. UICD helps communities understand how international human rights mechanisms can strengthen local advocacy.
