Over the last 15 years, the global density and dispersion of rights-based civil society has grown exponentially. In addition to "classic" human rights groups documenting 听violations of civil and political rights, there are now hundreds of rights-based social justice groups working on a wide variety of issues, including the rights of slum dwellers, sex workers, migrants, women, children, and many more. This organizational proliferation has been prompted, in part, by the mainstreaming of rights-based approaches to development among major international agencies, including, most prominently, the United Nations and its associated entities.

How financially sustainable are these groups, and how embedded are they in their local contexts? What kind of response do they get when using human rights language among potential clients and constituents? Who are their local collaborators and competitors, and what role, if any, do faith-based organizations have in spreading the human rights message?

James Ron has been studying these questions with the help of an innovative, multi-method interview strategy. In Phase I, he and his assistants conducted 130 interviews with rights-based workers from 60 countries as they participated in a 3-week training session run by Equitas, a Montreal-based NGO. In Phase II, Ron's assistants are conducting similar interviews with rights-based workers in Mexico, India and Morocco. During this talk, he will present his preliminary findings and describe his ongoing research efforts.
