The Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (GI-ESCR) is an international non-governmental organisation that promotes transformative changes to end the endemic problems of social and economic injustice through a human rights lens.
With a multidisciplinary team located in more than 10 countries around the world, the Global Initiative is the only international human rights organisation working to advance social rights and change the narratives that impede their development.
Distrito Global is a GI-ESCR programme that documents, monitors and influences the advancement of social rights in contexts of political and policy changes, to scale up the lessons learned globally
We are constantly seeking innovative ways to promote social and economic justice, gender equality, human dignity and coexistence with the environment.
