Through innovation, creative excellence and professional networking, Stairway Foundation strives for universal promotion and upholding the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)

APRRN is a network of more than 200 civil society organisations and individuals covering more than 30 countries in the Asia Pacific region. APRRN was formed in November 2008 at the first Asia Pacific Consultation on Refugee Rights (APCRR), held in Malaysia, in which representatives of 70 civil society organisations from 14 countries determined the necessity of establishing a coordinating entity to convene collaborative action and thus progress and advance refugee rights across the region. APRRN aims to advance the rights of refugees and other people in need of protection in the Asia Pacific region. APRRN is a collaborative movement which advances the rights of refugees and other people in need of protection-including refugees, people seeking asylum, torture survivors and complainants, trafficked persons, IDPs, stateless persons, migrants in vulnerable situations and returnees-in the Asia Pacific region so they may have equal and adequate access to assistance and protection, and to timely durable solutions. APRRN's Secretariat is a trusted advisor and crucial resource. We deliver the essential toolkit to facilitate joint, comprehensive and far-reaching refugee rights advocacy in the region, to ensure refugees, migrants and asylum seekers have access to equitable assistance, socioeconomic inclusion, protection and timely durable solutions. This includes delivering human rights capacity building; distributing emerging information regarding inclusion and human rights; convening forums and learning exchanges for members and non-members to facilitate essential discourse; sharing best practices; and engendering collaborative advocacy action to advance refugee rights in the Asia Pacific region. Advocacy conducted in silo is ineffective. APRRN facilitates cross-cultural collaboration and regional action of otherwise isolated human rights groups, galvanising and directing momentum to ensure the region is effectively, safely and collaboratively demanding action and thereby advancing the socioeconomic inclusion and equitable human rights of refugees and asylum seekers. APRRN's action is critical to ensure governments in Asia Pacific implement refugee rights legislation, to prevent and end severe violations of fundamental human rights such as immigration detention, Rohingya persecution and loss of life at sea. By working together as a regional network, our ability to hold national governments to account is magnified, and therefore we can achieve the greatest inclusive policy and legislative change to advance the equal rights of refugees and asylum seekers in the region. The Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network is registered as a Foundation in Thailand, under the name Foundation for the Rights of Disadvantaged Populations, on the advice of legal professionals. In practice the two entities function as a singular body, the Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network.

We are shaping a movement to ensure young people affected by displacement thrive through safe sport Sport has the power to have the most incredible impact on young lives. We are uniting leaders, businesses, coaches and young refugees from across the world to create a team with purpose, a team like no other. We all share one goal - for displaced young people to find belonging through sport, and shape their own futures, their way. Having been through the unimaginable hardship of displacement, on this team they will find somewhere to feel at home again. Somewhere they can develop the skills to succeed in life and truly thrive. Sport can be the springboard for a future that didn't seem possible. Helping young people find their place in the world, find success in their dream career. Or even finding themselves at the Olympic Games. Together we can help them discover a future full of opportunity, fuelled by the Olympic spirit. Our work It is easy to take the feeling of home for granted. That sense of being safe, welcome and respected. For young people uprooted by conflict, persecution or disaster, sport can offer a safe haven. Sport can develop stronger ties in communities, provide opportunities to learn new skills, build networks and improve health. We want to ensure 1 million young people access safe sport by 2024. To do this we're focused on making an impact in three areas: Access - making sure more young people affected by displacement can access and benefit from safe sport, for instance, through our programmes of sport- and play-based activities and upskilling coaches and through the Refugee Olympic Team. Adoption - ensuring that the role of safe sport in supporting young refugees is widely understood and used, for instance, encouraging national governments to include safe sport in their refugee response frameworks. Collective action - mobilising multiple partnerships to create sustained change, and improving the way sport is used to support young people affected by displacement. Together we can achieve more.

Mission Statement of Nari Mukto Kontho Samajkallyan Songstha (NMKSS) Nari Mukto Kontho Samajkallyan Songstha (NMKSS) exists to uplift the voices, rights, and livelihoods of Bangladesh's most overlooked citizens-especially women, children, and minority communities who, despite their rightful citizenship, remain excluded from recognition, opportunity, and dignity. Our mission is rooted in the belief that sustainable development must begin with inclusion, equity, and empowerment at the grassroots level. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Dinajpur District, NMKSS is a women-led, community-driven organization that works to dismantle systemic barriers faced by vulnerable populations-particularly those living in poverty, affected by gender-based violence, or belonging to ethnic groups that are historically marginalized. We recognize that many of these communities, though legally citizens of Bangladesh, are denied access to basic services, social recognition, and economic mobility. NMKSS is committed to changing that reality. Our mission is to create a more just and inclusive society by empowering underrepresented groups through education, healthcare, legal literacy, behavioral transformation, and sustainable livelihoods. We work at the intersection of social justice and community development, guided by the principles of dignity, equity, and local ownership. Our Core Focus Areas: - Empowering Women and Girls We believe that women are the backbone of resilient communities. NMKSS provides vocational training in tailoring, handicrafts, ICT, and mobile servicing, alongside entrepreneurship and financial literacy programs. We support the formation of women-led cooperatives and self-help groups (SHGs) that foster savings, credit access, and collective agency. Special attention is given to widows, single mothers, and adolescent girls at risk of early marriage or exploitation. - Supporting Children's Education and Well-being We establish non-formal learning centers in underserved areas, distribute school supplies, and conduct parent awareness sessions to improve literacy and school attendance among children aged 5-16. Our programs also include nutrition support and psychosocial care, ensuring that children not only attend school but thrive in safe, nurturing environments. - Promoting Health and Behavioral Change NMKSS organizes health camps focused on maternal, child, and adolescent care. We conduct menstrual hygiene management workshops and nutrition campaigns to improve community health outcomes. Importantly, we work with families to address harmful behaviors-such as alcohol dependency-and guide them toward healthier, more stable lifestyles through counseling, livelihood support, and peer engagement. - Preventing Gender-Based Violence (GBV) We offer legal aid, referral services, and psychosocial support for survivors of GBV. Our community-based anti-GBV groups engage men, youth, and religious leaders in shifting harmful norms and promoting gender equality. Legal literacy campaigns empower women to understand and assert their rights, while baseline and end-line surveys help us track impact and adapt strategies. - Serving Marginalized Ethnic and Minority Communities NMKSS works closely with small ethnic groups and disenfranchised citizens-those who are Bangladeshi by birth but often denied recognition or access to services. We provide targeted support in education, livelihood, and legal inclusion, and advocate for their visibility in local governance and development planning. Our work includes distributing goats for income generation, food relief during floods, and skill development for unemployed youth from minority backgrounds. - Building Local Leadership and Sustainability We strengthen community-based organizations (CBOs) and train local youth as peer educators and facilitators. Our sustainability strategy includes linking SHGs with microfinance institutions, partnering with local government bodies, and embedding monitoring and evaluation systems that ensure transparency and long-term impact. NMKSS believes that true change is only possible when communities lead their own development. Our Approach NMKSS combines grassroots action with strategic partnerships. We collaborate with the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs, local government offices, and civil society actors to scale our impact. Our programs are designed with built-in risk mitigation strategies, including contingency budgeting, emergency preparedness, and community engagement to address social resistance. We prioritize data-driven decision-making through monthly progress reports, quarterly stakeholder reviews, and annual external evaluations. Our tools include attendance sheets, beneficiary tracking forms, and mobile-based monitoring systems. Our Vision for the Future We envision a Bangladesh where every woman and child-regardless of ethnicity, income, or social status-can live with dignity, opportunity, and hope. A society where minority communities are not just acknowledged but celebrated, and where grassroots leadership drives inclusive development. At NMKSS, women and children are not passive recipients of aid-they are agents of transformation. We strive to build a future where their voices shape policy, their skills fuel the economy, and their resilience inspires generations.

the NEED for ACTION The fashion industry is one of the largest, most resource intensive industries. Though it is a powerful engine for global growth and development, the industry's current business model is pushing our planet to its limits. The industry must transform to one that is sustainable, equitable and transparent. OUR vision We at GFA, recognise the profound impact and influence of the apparel and textile industry and are working to transform it into a positive force, rather than a negative one. We envision a net positive industry for people and the planet that puts back more into society, the environment, and the global economy than it takes out.
