Human Rights

Focus Areas

The Central Eurasia Project is committed to societal and political integration of marginalized groups in Central Asia and the Caucasus. The project supports operations by human rights organizations that protect and promote fundamental political and civil rights in Central Asia and the Southern Caucasus, including but not limited to: individual physical security and safety, protection from discrimination, rule of law, access to information, and freedom of assembly, speech and political participation.

The Central Eurasia Project also funds activities aimed at building capacity within local human rights organizations to professionalize their work in terms of needs analysis, reporting of human rights abuses, media contacts and campaigning, as well as advocacy towards donors to make funds available for work on human rights fields beyond civil and political rights defense such as social and economic rights.
