Our Resources

Our archive of resources is intended to provide a range of information and tools that Synergía and our partners have developed in the course of our work. You will also find regional human rights standards that can be applied to advocacy in the Americas and in Africa.

We hope that these resources can be used by activists and organizations to advance their own human rights advocacy and to provide examples of resources that can be adapted and applied in other contexts.
