WHO WE ARE
ProDESC’s main goal is to defend and promote Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ESCRs) in order to contribute to their enforcement, justiciability (the possibility to demand compliance in the courts of justice) and claimability, thus constructing a more just and equitable society. Learn more.
COMPREHENSIVE DEFENSE:
AN INNOVATIVE METHOD IN MEXICO
In order to face ESCR-related issues that afflict the Mexican population, ProDESC has developed a proposal that is unique to Mexico — a living comprehensive defense method that is improved and becomes complemented in time.
Through implementing this comprehensive defense method, designed following a series of strategic guidelines, the ProDESC team defends and accompanies community processes.
LAND, TERRITORY, AND NATURAL RESOURCES
for indigenous peoples and agricultural communities according to national and international frameworks in these fields.
HUMAN LABOR RIGHTS
The Freedom of Association and Workers’ Collective Bargaining in Mexico with a Focus on Labor Migration
HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS
ProDESC identified that it was necessary to have a space for professional training in order to educate the coming generations.
ProDESC studies both individual and collective cases in order to apply a comprehensive defense methodology, establishing criteria for legal accompaniment, strengthening organizational processes, and dissemination, as well as positioning cases at a national and transnational level.
