Isn’t all funding that improves peoples’ lives human rights funding?
Humanitarian funding that provides services and opportunities for people to improve their lives may be considered human rights funding if the programs are directed to assisting people in exercising their rights to these services, opportunities, and improved standards. Support for programs that only provide services to those who are underserved or in need, or who have fewer opportunities, can be valuable efforts. Human rights funding can add value to such funding by focusing on the dignity of the person, and recognizing that all people have inherent, universal, inalienable, and indivisible rights to the basic standards of living.
