marginalized and vulnerable communities.

and taking action to prevent and address such violations.
3. Providing legal and practical support to individuals and groups who have
experienced human rights abuses, including access to legal representation and
counseling.
4. Educating the public and raising awareness about human rights issues through public
campaigns, events, and outreach programs.
5. Building partnerships and collaborations with other organizations and groups
working towards the promotion and protection of human rights.

that are in line with human rights principles and standards.
