New blog! To launch our new project, Rethinking Rights Impact, we mark the anniversary of the UDHR, and reflect on what is needed to build a strong human rights movement. What does it mean to have impact as a human rights organisation? How do we maintain progress towards a long-term vision of fully rights respecting states, while maintaining progress against a backdrop of constrained civic space and funding pressures? Rethinking Rights Impact starts from the contention that a focus on short-term ‘impact’ can put at risk the longer-term work and collective effort of the human rights community that will be needed to realise rights for all people. With support from Oak Foundation, we have been developing a tool to support such a re-imagining of impact. #humanrights #civicspace #activism #impactassessment #udhr #universaldeclarationofhumanrights

Want to know more about the Rethinking Rights Impact project, and our plans for 2025? Our new project page provides all the details, including the rationale behind and features of the tool we are developing. There is also an opportunity to register your details with us, to stay in the loop about developments as we continue this work into the new year. #humanrights #activism #impactassessment #newformsoforganising #organisationaldevelopment
