How we work

From grassroots to Geneva, and back to the ground.

We take a strategic, community-first approach - partnering with grassroots leaders to build inclusive coalitions that drive lasting change. By amplifying local voices and connecting them to global platforms, we ensure lived experiences shape international discourse.

What we believe

Three convictions that shape everything we do.

Survivor-led, community-invested, and unafraid to take on the systems that keep inherited discrimination in place.

01

Because we live it, we are best placed to lead the fight against it.

We are survivor-led. Lived experience isn't just our story - it's our strategy.

02

We invest in our communities to drive change.

We build long-term, sustainable capacity for communities to advance their own rights, equality and justice.

03

We don't just invest in communities. We change the world around them.

Grassroots power is massive, but alone it cannot dismantle systems centuries in the making. So alongside our community leaders, we work to shift the entire ecosystem.

Solidarity coalition

Building a Global Forum on CDWD - one platform, four continents.

Through a solidarity-driven approach, The Inclusivity Project anchors the Global Forum of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (GFoD) - bringing together partner organisations from across the globe, including grassroots community workers, academics and rights experts.

United by their common experience, this coalition's advocacy spans local to global - bringing visibility to human rights violations from the ground up, and making human rights measures more responsive to community needs.

Rights experts programme

Training grassroots advocates to lead the human rights movement.

Through our Community Rights Experts Programme, we strengthen leadership from within our communities - building skills in human rights advocacy, policy engagement and accountability mechanisms. With tailored capacity-building, grassroots advocates become effective leaders, equipped to drive change locally, nationally and at the UN.

Our Rights Experts are now actively driving change through:

  • Conducting community research and surveys to identify needs.
  • Amplifying community voices and raising awareness of human rights at the UN.
  • Advocating at the national level by leading rights-awareness campaigns.

Voices beyond borders

Local stories, global stages, catalysing local change.

By creating pathways for community voices at regional and global human rights platforms, we transform local struggles into global calls for justice.

Through TIP's training, I learned how to turn our lived experiences into evidence, and our evidence into action.
