Support human rights defenders

Acerca de este Oportunidad benéfica

During an assignment at the business school IMD in Lausanne I have come across  the International Service for Human Rights (ISHR). ISHR is an independent, non-profit organisation promoting and protecting human rights. Founded in 1984, they have offices in Geneva, New York, and Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire). They are active worldwide and their track record working with human rights defenders is impressive. 

In the current geopolitical context, however, they see government funding dwindling and they need to cover funding gaps via private sector/individual donations.

Supporting them means reaching groups and individuals who can make a real impact on challenges of our times which are getting less public attention, from environmental justice, gender equality, freedom of expression and association, to democratic representation and participation.

Every donation you make will be matched by the Z Zurich Foundation—and for the first €1,000, I’ll match it too, meaning your gift can triple its impact before doubling beyond that—let’s make a difference together!
