It aims to articulate the global breadth and depth of our work, to enhance our accountability and transparency, and to foster understanding of what can be achieved and how, including by drawing out lessons for future activism. Organizationally we can identify key threads, including that: A strengthened approach to partnerships, active participation and network building improved the relevance and sustainability of our work ; We strategically used our reach and influence to make connections between the local, the national and the global to achieve change in policy and practice, to bring a human rights angle to complex socio-economic problems and to use individual cases work as an entry point to broader changes and vice versa ; We invested in building expertise and capacity, technologically and otherwise, to respond rapidly and flexibly to human rights violations, although as always, more is needed. These stories also show that, even when threats to justice, freedom and dignity appear too intractable or deeply entrenched to be overcome, people united in common action have the power to create real change. With tenacity and patience, hope really can triumph over adversity.
