 Welcome to the Rights for Equality website!
"For too long the development debate has
ignored the fact that poverty tends to be characterized not only by material
insufficiency but also by denial of rights. What is needed is a rights-based
approach to development. Ensuring essential political, economic and social
entitlements and human dignity for all people provides the rationale for
policy. These are not a luxury affordable only to the rich and powerful but
an indispensable component of national development efforts."
