Human Rights

Focus Areas

The Central Eurasia Project is committed to societal and political integration of marginalized groups in the region. The project supports operations of human rights organizations that protect and promote fundamental political and civil rights, including but not limited to:

• individual physical security and safety;
• protection from discrimination;
• rule of law;
• access to information;
• 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, and media contacts and campaigning.  The Central Eurasia Project also makes funds available for work on human rights issues beyond civil and political rights defense, such as social and economic rights.
