Collective Threads
Initiative

Dignity for all people, everywhere.

The Collective Threads Initiative (CTI) mobilises tailored resources to communities worldwide, focusing on preventing exploitation and ensuring human dignity.

We uses a cross-movement approach, recognising that human trafficking and exploitation are interconnected with labour rights, gender justice, and climate change.

Through a pan-African, queer, feminist lens, we emphasise lived experience leadership, dignified work, and equitable institutions to develop sustainable solutions.

Sustainable activism for burnout prevention

The work of care is ceremony—an act of revolutionary trust. CTI’s Care and Healing Justice Fellowship births spaces where activists gather not for salvation but for remembering: remembering that healing in community is our birthright, that our wounds carry wisdom, that our ancestors planted medicine in our very bones. Learn more about our work to care for young activists as we walk with them in healing and sustainability.

A visionary yet practical meaningful engagement framework

Our work is rooted in an understanding that people with lived experience of issues are best positioned to lead work to address the issues. The Meaningful Engagement Toolbox includes a handbook that outlines our framework for understanding meaningful engagement across the spectrum as well as a series of tools designed to support organisations and agencies in its implementation.
