FUND FOR GLOBAL HUMAN RIGHTS UK

Securing the most basic freedoms for people requires frontline activists challenging injustice and building on-the-ground demand for change.

The overall goal is to improve justice, accountability and equality and to ensure that gains are sustainable over the long term.

This support will enable groups to support people on the move that others would struggle to reach, such as public health services and humanitarian/relief agencies, with a focus on supporting the most vulnerable migrants, including unaccompanied children, women, and those without safe shelter.

Funding tends to focus largely on humanitarian aid or integration projects in Europe with little or no funding to reach vulnerable people during their migration journey, particularly with a human rights lens. With this investment, The Fund for Global Human Rights will make grants to 8-10 small groups in the Euro Mediterranean region, mainly Morocco and the Spanish enclave of Melilla, who are working to promote and protect refugee and migrants’ rights. It will also help the groups to build their capacity, work collaboratively and share learning with each other.
