How do SL approaches relate to rights?
In many respects, SL approaches encourage users to adopt a rights perspective. This is because they encourage them to put people, their access to resources, and their degree of voice and power in the wider political and social context, at the centre of development. Conversely, rights practitioners can use SL approaches to promote rights-based projects in cases where calling them ‘rights based projects’ is not feasible. There is thus a mutually beneficial relationship and mutual feedback between an SL and a rights perspective.
