About ESCR-Net
The International Network for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ESCR-Net) is the largest global initiative of organizations and activists from around the world working to secure economic, social and environmental justice through human rights. ESCR-Net seeks to demand accountability for economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR) violations from state and non-state decision-makers by influencing the international debate and advocating for the use of the human rights framework. Since its launch in 2003, ESCR-Net has developed into a crucial and pioneering vehicle for collective work among human rights organizations, social movements and grassroots groups from around the world. ESCR-Net has now a core membership of 123 organizations and individual activists that are engaged in its governance, as well as over 2000 participants that exchange information and strategies, and provide mutual support for existing social justice campaigns.
