- We raise awareness on the discrimination and human rights issues faced by ethnic and religious minority groups within our work at the international, regional and national levels. This includes bringing attention to systemic racism and addressing the disproportionate rates of violence they experience.
- As part of the global Campaign to Decriminalise Status and Poverty we address the criminalisation of minorities and racialised groups, including as a result of colonial power. This is in recognition that laws that criminalise poverty, marginalisation, and “status” (such as homelessness, informal work, drug use, or migration) are not applied equally—they disproportionately target people who are already discriminated against on the basis of race, ethnicity, caste, or social status
- In our Global Prison Trends series we document developments and trends pertaining to ethnic and religious minorities in criminal justice systems on an annual basis.
- Through our Experts by Experience group and other initiatives, we centre and elevate views, expertise and voices of people with lived experience of racist and discriminatory criminal justice systems.
