Edmund Rice International

Edmund Rice International (ERI) is a leading advocacy organisation working to promote human rights at local, national and international levels. Through their consultative status at the United Nations, ERI is able to bring grassroots activism to a global platform. Using a rights-based approach, Edmund Rice International aims to foster systemic change and influence policy by shining a light on the experiences of the ‘Furthest Behind.’ They equip marginalised communities with the tools they need to advocate for their own human rights and hold state actors accountable.

ERI provides training to local partners to educate them on UN mechanisms, empowering them to make submissions to the Human Rights Council on behalf of the communities they serve. ERI engages with change-makers at the international level in order to bring issues to the attention of the international community at the United Nations. They work in partnership with other NGOs and faith-based groups in the promotion of peace and justice, and seek shared solutions to the issues affecting the lives of the most vulnerable people on our planet.
