How We Work
We have five cross-cutting teams, which work across all issue areas

Dejusticia is organized into seven thematic lines and five cross-cutting areas, all of which are strongly integrated to one another.
While a thematic line focuses on a specific research and advocacy topic, our crosscutting areas bring to bear additional tools with which Dejusticia achieves its advocacy goals, including litigation, communications, education, and capacity building.
Education and Internationalization are two cross-cutting teams that contribute to thematic lines by activating international networks or by providing tools to strengthen human rights advocacy skills by multiple stakeholders across the Global South.
Litigation and Communications are cross-cutting areas that power up the work of all teams and are a core part of the development of our advocacy strategies.
Our Operations team facilitates the work of all the lines and areas and it coordinates our publications.

Education
We design and provide human rights education and capacity-building opportunities in a variety of formats—from online resources to workshops and conferences—to amplify the work of advocates across the Global South, and to assist academics, judges, policy designers and communities, among other actors, who seek to improve human rights conditions.
Global South & North Collaborations: Internationalization
We seek to produce concrete changes in the practice and framing of human rights at the international level by amplifying the voice of the Global South and fortifying the global human rights movement through collaboration, expertise and experience sharing, capacity-building and education. We conduct collaborative transnational advocacy, with Global South partners.
