RECENT WORK // TRABAJO RECIENTE
Some of the amazing work and events we've participated in recently.
Algunos de los grupos y eventos a lxs que hemos acompañado recientemente.
The International Institute on Race, Equity and Human Rights is an international, human rights capacity-building organization that works side by side with activists in Latin America to enhance their ability to promote and protect the human rights of marginalized and vulnerable people who suffer from discrimination based on their national or ethnic origin, their sexual orientation or gender identity. We strengthen grassroots organizations, helping them to become political actors able to promote structural changes in the countries where we work. Our methodology consists of providing technical assistance in order to help our partners monitor and document human rights abuses and increase their advocacy capacity at the national, regional and international levels.
EarthRights International is a growing global team of community activists, campaigners, and legal strategists who serve frontline communities to avert climate catastrophe and hold corporations accountable for the harms they impose on people and the planet.
Hemos acompañado el trabajo de CEJIL, más recientemente en una serie de informes sobre los retos para la defensa de derechos humanos bajo la pandemia en México y Nicaragua.
The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights is the leading UN entity on human rights. We represent the world's commitment to the promotion and protection of the full range of human rights and freedoms set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Organized by the Transnational Institute (TNI) and the Havens Wright Center for Social Justice, this five-day conference featured speakers from Latin America, Europe and the United States, who contributed to developing a theoretically informed analysis of the long-term challenges, prospects, promises and pitfalls of the left within a variety of national contexts. Our team provided simultaneous interpretation for the entirety of the event, and Lala was featured as one of the panelists.
Coordinated by Trade Unions for Energy Democracy (TUED), the Murphy Institute at CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies, and the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, the GTUA brought together unions from both North and South who believe workers' organizations and their allies need to come together in this time of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Assembly, organized labor discussed the implications of the current crisis and looked for fresh ways to strengthen global worker solidarity.
Accompanied with simultaneous and consecutive interpretation the four-day conference "Traffic in the Americas", a transnational initiative that seeks to generate new networks and collaborations between scholars and activists to engage themes such as security, mobility, and infrastructure in the Americas from a novel and comparative perspective. Led by four universities (University of Toronto, LSE, UCLA and Universidad de los Andes), we are interested in theorizing how traffic – understood as the uneven, racialized and highly regulated movement of people, objects and ideas - reshapes cities in and across the Americas.
The Centre for Civil and Political Rights
The Centre for Civil and Political Rights (CCPR Centre) is an independent, non-governmental organisation seeking to realise its vision through universal ratification and implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). For this purpose, the Centre closely works with three key players needed for a real change, namely, 1) civil society, 2) national authority and 3) UN Treaty Bodies in particular the Human Rights Committee (HR Committee), the monitoring body of the ICCPR.
