Our Strategic Approach

Our approach to human rights protection is built on three fundamental principles: transparency, accountability, and inclusive participation. We believe that lasting change comes through building strong institutions, fostering dialogue between all stakeholders, and ensuring that the voices of marginalized communities are heard and respected.

We work closely with civil society organizations, government institutions, international partners, and communities across Somalia to create comprehensive solutions that address both immediate needs and long-term systemic challenges.

Through evidence-based advocacy, capacity building, and strategic partnerships, we aim to create an environment where human rights are not just protected on paper, but are lived experiences for every Somali citizen.
