Strategic Advocacy for Human Rights

Afghanistan - in 2023, sahr signed a fiscal sponsorship agreement with an organization called women for justice organization (wjo), a non-profit, non-governmental organisation registered in kabul, afghanistan. Its mission is to defend the Rights of women and strengthen institutional accountability, prevention and response togender-based violence. According to the agreement, sahr takes on the fiscal and administrative responsibilities of receiving and administering charitable contributions on behalf of wjo. This partnership was formed as a result of the crisis in afghanistan, promulgated after the taliban's takeover in august 2021. Due to inability and/or difficulties sending international ransactions to afghanistan, sahr agrees to receive grants on behalf of wjo and make the necessary payments to wjo staff located in various countries, under the terms and conditions of the agreement, and in addition, based on the terms and conditions imposed by wjo donors.

Gender justice fellowship - the sahr gender justice accelerator is a 12-month legal development program that equips lawyers and Human Rights defenders with the community, skills, and resources to transform the law and policy-making space towards effectively ending sexual and gender-based violence (sgbv). Sahr aims to dismantle barriers to policy-making and integrate new and critical conversations. The focus is on equipping these leaders with the necessary knowledge and connections to make a meaningful difference. Through these efforts, sahr strives to create opportunities for these advocates to bring about significant changes in policies and practices that affect their communities. The sahr gender justice accelerator is not just about offering support; it's about fostering leadership and amplifying voices that are often overlooked in critical decision-making processes. We do this through the following strategies: on-the-job legal mentorship and capacity-building of lawyers and Human Rights defenders to advance gender justice on cases and law/policy initiatives peer-to-peer linkages between Human Rights lawyers and defenders on gender equality, women's Rights. Joint Advocacy and reporting to international bodies such as the united nations.
