Collective Position for Data and Economic, Social and Cultural Rights

The ESCR-Net Monitoring Working Group consists of around 40 civil society organizations focused on monitoring economic, social, and cultural rights globally. After two years (2020 – 2022) of in-person and virtual discussions and collective analysis, the group developed the Collective Position on Data for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights that draws on legal analysis and members’ experiences as human rights researchers and advocates working with marginalized communities. This booklet is the abridged version of the full position published in March 2022.
