International Network for Economic,
Social and Cultural Rights

GFqdqe XIAAVjIx

We unite 300 social movements, human rights organizations, and advocates across 80 countries, collaborating toward the world we need: a world where care for people and the planet, solidarity, and equality inform decisions and shape structures to guarantee human rights for all.

How we make change

At the heart of our collective efforts lie the lived experiences, analysis, and leadership of those most impacted by and resisting inequality, impoverishment, injustice, and environmental destruction. For over twenty years, the Network has facilitated spaces for members to build solidarity and connect their struggles across regions to tackle deep-rooted challenges that erode human rights, mobilizing collective action to transform unjust economic and political structures.
