When we refer to a human rights approach, we mean approaches in which development is never at the expense of rights; that give rights rather than remove them; that prioritise marginalised communities and reduce disparities; and in which the strategies are empowering, rather than disempowering. A human rights approach addresses root causes, and looks at the roles intersecting systems play in increasing or decreasing vulnerability to exploitation. Some of these systems include immigration policy, worker rights, 2SLGBTQIA+ rights, housing and homelessness policy, substance use policy, accessible healthcare, affordable child and elder care, decarceration and decriminalisation of survival, sexual autonomy, migrant justice, and reproductive justice.
