February Campaign: Human Rights

Human Rights – everybody knows they exist, but what exactly are our rights? Do you know them all – I am guessing no! That’s why we dedicate February to Human Rights.

In our category “human rights” you can find exciting projects concerning this topic the whole year round.

This month our campaign-page is also full of projects that are working with human rights. Besides projects that work on human rights in Germany, you will also find international initiatives. We would like to introduce to the projects of the month febrauary now:
