Changing narratives
We constantly look for innovative ways to effectively further social and economic justice, gender equality and human dignity. Changing the narrative is at the core of this mission. We seek to reach out to people, by engaging with their diversity, values and experiences and, as far as possible, in their own languages. For us, media outlets represent an important bridge that meet this goal. As we work in many countries around the world and at global level too, we strive to engage with media outlets worldwide, focusing not only on articles but also on interviews and open editorials as a human voice relaying people’s experiences and alternatives for transformative change.
GI-ESCR welcomes all media-related enquiries on human rights issues. If you are interested, please contact communications@gi-escr.org
