Equal Rights Trust

The Equal Rights Trust is an independent international organisation whose purpose is to combat discrimination and promote equality as a fundamental human right and a basic principle of social justice. Established in 2005 as an advocacy organisation, resource centre and a think tank, it focuses on the complex relationship between different types of discrimination, developing strategies for translating the principles of equality into practice. ERT has worked on statelessness related issues since 2008 with a particular focus on the detention, equality and non-discrimination of stateless persons. Website: www.equalrightstrust.org/
