This publication “Empowering the Poor: through Human Rights Litigation” aims at supporting these processes. It is a pedagogical tool that seeks to guide grassroots organizations as well as State authorities in their work to eradicate poverty. This manual seeks to contribute to the development of the capacities of both duty-bearers to meet their obligations and of rights-holders to claim their rights. It is a tool aimed at supporting advocacy and training initiatives as well as actions that share knowledge, reduce deprivation and preserve human dignity with the view to creating an inclusive culture of peace in which everyone has the freedom to imagine a better world and the tools to shape reality in this direction.
