Rights-Based Approaches 

 What are Rights-Based Approaches?

 

CARE is a humanitarian organization, one that promotes and protects poor, oppressed, and displaced people's basic livelihoods. Our focus is the building of local capacities for social and economic development and the provision of emergency assistance to victims of natural and man-made disasters. As such, CARE is also a human rights organization, in the broadest sense of the term.
