We catalyse change for Economic Social and Cultural rights

Using Human Rights law
to end social & economic injustice

Together with partners around the world, we work to achieve
a world in which every person and community lives
in dignity and in harmony with nature.

We are constantly looking for innovative ways to advance social and economic justice, gender equality and human dignity. 

We see our work as a cycle, an upward spiral of iterative and cumulative change in which local and global actions influence and benefit each other.

GI-ESCR’s Theory Of Change

We are a small and agile organisation. Our theory of change focuses on our capacity to shape the larger ecosystem that determines decision making. GI-ESCR identifies concerns and issues that fall within our mandate and tools that add value.

Women's Rights

Latest video

This video showcases the stories and testimonies of women activists, human rights defenders, and experts around the world advocating for a gender-just transition to renewable energy.
From the frontlines, the voices of these women tell us why the energy transition should not be limited to a technological shift to go from fossil fuels to sustainable sources of energy, but rather be recognised as a transformative process to advance human rights and gender equality.
It shares the experiences of women driving the transition towards sustainable societies and economies to outline how could a feminist energy transition look like. In this International Women’s Day we launch this video to share how the contributions and perspectives of women are shaping a just low carbon future for all.

We identify concerns and issues and work on them, assembling evidence and arguments that lead to new narratives. Transformative narratives together with broad social coalitions have the power to strengthen the institutional human rights framework, influence public and institutional attitudes, and change thinking.
Most of our activities and programmes are intersectional and cross-cutting.
