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.

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 15 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 Human Rights Experts training programme, we support grassroots advocates with essential human rights knowledge and practical skills. With tailored capacity-building, they become effective leaders - equipped to drive change and make their voices heard on local and global stages.

Since 2019, 62 community members from 19 countries have completed the Rights Experts Programme. They 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.

We support grassroots leaders to speak directly to international audiences. Global recognition then builds pressure on national governments - sparking dialogue, influencing policy, catalysing constitutional change.
