IDDH – Instituto de Desenvolvimento e Direitos Humanos

we work to decentralize political advocacy and ensure the implementation of human rights.

Our focus is on Human Rights Education (HRE).

We carry out national and international advocacy, offer training on UN mechanisms, and promote networks and coalitions to increase the number of human rights defenders and educators in Brazil and Latin America.

activities

training and research

We share knowledge and tools so that human rights defenders, justice system professionals, and educators can access and engage with UN human rights protection mechanisms.

coordination

We connect human rights defenders and educators through the International Advocacy Network (RAI) and the International Youth Advocacy Network (RAIJ), where we share information and opportunities on international advocacy. We coordinate national and regional civil society collectives working on the UPR (UPR Brazil Collective and UPR South America Collective), and we are part of several civil society networks and coalitions.

Advocacy

We carry out international advocacy on the Human Rights Education agenda and actively participate in political articulations, such as the RPU Brazil Collective. In addition, we developed the IndexDH Platform, which makes available in Portuguese thousands of recommendations made to Brazil by UN mechanisms.

platforms

An online course platform dedicated to content, mechanisms, and tools related to the UN Human Rights System.

A continuing education network for human rights defenders, with an emphasis on the exchange of experiences and opportunities for international advocacy.

More than 1,900 recommendations made to Brazil by UN human rights mechanisms available in Portuguese.

networks and collectives

The coalition currently brings together 39 organizations, associations, networks, and collectives from Brazilian civil society that, since its founding in 2017, have been monitoring human rights in Brazil through the United Nations Universal Periodic Review (UPR) mechanism.
