How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Community-Led Advocacy and Leadershipmethodology: community-led advocacyBy developing and centering grassroots leaders—particularly women and youth—from CDWD communities, we produce sustainable systemic change because lived experience drives authentic, effective advocacy and movement-building at local and global levels.
- Global Systems Engagementmethodology: systemic-change-through-international-mechanismsBy leveraging international human rights mechanisms and SDG frameworks, we produce systemic change because it aligns local advocacy with global accountability structures, amplifying impact and embedding equity in international policy.
- Intersectional Systems Changemethodology: intersectionality-centered approachBy centering intersectionality and the lived experiences of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (CDWD), we produce more effective systemic change because it ensures that overlapping forms of oppression are addressed in policy, advocacy, and program design.
