Rights & Security International
Key takeaways
- Rights & Security International's stated theme is human rights, and its work centres on government engagement in conflict and countering terrorism, so a group working on those issues is the clearest fit.
- The only amount stated is up to £3,500 for its Rise Coalition Brazil Research Grant, and the annual report gives no grant range, so no typical size can be drawn from the figures available.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown to get in touch and ask about the process before writing anything.
- The Brazil grant is open only to registered charities or other legally recognised not-for-profit organisations headquartered in Brazil, and it excludes individuals, academic research, for-profit entities, government agencies and organisations not legally registered in Brazil, so a group outside Brazil should not apply for it.
Overview
Rights & Security International is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1048335).
Rights & Security International promotes, protects and monitors human rights in the context of government engagement in conflict and countering terrorism. It was established by a group of women activists as the Britain and Ireland Human Rights Project, an independent organisation set up to monitor human rights abuses during the conflict in Northern Ireland. Its programmes fall into three categories: respect for freedoms and privacy rights in the United Kingdom; racial justice and migrants' rights in the United Kingdom; and global knowledge and civil society advocacy on human rights related to national security and emergencies.
