ABOUT THE PLATFORMThis platform is a work in progress.
Based in Geneva - the centre of international human rights work - we work alongside international institutes and organisations to inform, inspire and equip people: from those who want to get involved and young people, to those on the ground who need it most. We do this as an information and reference resource that makes use of visual communication, storytelling, and structured knowledge. This platform is in active development; new tools and connections are being added continuously.
