Partners For Dignity & Rights

More Info

General Info

In partnership with communities, NESRI works to build a broad movement for economic & social rights, including health, housing, education and work with dignity. Based on the principle that fundamental human needs create human rights obligations on the part of government and the private sector, NESRI advocates for public policies that guarantee the universal and equitable fulfillment of these rights in the United States. NESRI takes a partnership approach to building a human rights culture in the United States, and prioritizes partnerships at the community level. NESRI adheres to partnership principles intended to ensure that we work in solidarity with affected communities. Research, Analysis and Documentation NESRI develops human rights research, documentation, and analysis to support and shape campaigns in partnership with social justice organizations working with communities. NESRI also works with partners to develop participatory documentation projects where community members are trained in human rights standards and documentation techniques in order to gather qualitative information that informs their advocacy, as well as strengthens their organizing. NESRI provides workshops and training on the practical application of human rights to U.S. social justice advocacy. NESRI's training focuses not only on basic human rights standards and mechanisms, but also on how to use human rights as tools for message development, and policy and legal analysis. Our workshops focus on particular issues ( such as health or education ) or strategies ( such as human rights documentation or policy analysis ), organizational trainings geared towards building institutional capacity in human rights, legal human rights training, and training in the use of human rights mechanisms ( such as U.N. or regional treaty bodies, working groups, or commissions ). NESRI facilitates the use of international and regional human rights mechanisms by social justice groups in the United States by providing information, assisting with logistics, preparing testimony, and developing strategic interventions. NESRI also supports the development of international solidarity relationships among affected communities by facilitating exchange and dialogue.
