Together for human rights

Working in partnership is essential to ensuring the effectiveness and sustainability of our human rights actions. Our partners are at the heart of everything we do: thanks to their expertise, commitment, and knowledge of local realities, we co-create tailored human rights training programs that have a real impact on creating a more just and democratic world.

Testimonials

"Equitas needs us to understand the country's sociocultural context and to clarify certain concepts in local languages. What is inspiring about the work we do together, in addition to working with a participatory approach, is the mutual trust that exists between our organizations, which allows us to effectively fight against inequalities."

"Our work is closely linked to human rights: freedom of expression, the right to play, justice for all, including justice for migrants, Indigenous peoples, 2SLGTBQI+ people, people with disabilities, Black people, people of colour, and so on. By supporting us, Equitas defends the human rights framework and simultaneously challenges structural barriers and cultural norms."

"With Equitas, I have learned the importance of continuing the fight to uphold human rights with effective tools, professionalism, and the expertise of the team. The trust, communication, and camaraderie that exist between us, which go beyond partnership, are inspiring. We understand each other and support each other with great respect."
