فريقنا
يدير Equidem ويقوده رئيس تنفيذي. ولديها فريق من الخبراء، كل منهم حاصل على درجات علمية متقدمة ولديه عقود من الخبرة في إجراء تحقيقات حقوق الإنسان في هذا المجال.
يحلل Equidem النتائج مقابل المعايير الدولية والوطنية لحقوق الإنسان وحقوق العمل ويضع توصيات ملموسة وعملية حول كيفية منع الانتهاكات ومعالجتها. نحن نعمل مع المجتمع المدني والنقابات العمالية الشعبية والدولية في إفريقيا وآسيا والشرق الأوسط وأمريكا الشمالية وأوروبا ووكالات الأمم المتحدة والمنظمات الدولية غير الحكومية الأخرى. يسعى عملنا إلى بناء حركة حقوق الإنسان ومحاسبة الجهات الفاعلة القوية في الدولة والأعمال والقطاع الخاص على الانتهاكات الجسيمة لحقوق الإنسان.
في صميم عملنا توجد شبكتنا التي لا مثيل لها من المحققين الميدانيين الذين يتمركزون في إفريقيا وآسيا والشرق الأوسط. يجيد أعضاء فريقنا اللغة العربية المكتوبة والمنطوقة ، والأمهرية ، والبنغالية ، والكانتونية ، والدارل ، والإنجليزية ، والهندية المالايالامية ، والماندرين ، والنيبالية ، والبنجابية ، والسنهالية ، والسواحيلية ، والتاغالوغية ، والتاميلية ، والأردية ، وغيرها.
نؤكد على فهم سليم لأحدث المناقشات في مجالات تخصصنا، ونصمم استجابات مبتكرة تستند إلى مشاورات مكثفة بين المجتمع وأصحاب المصلحة، لا سيما مع الخبراء الدوليين والمجتمع المدني الشعبي.
