Develop communications strategies to share information regarding acts of discrimination and hate crimes widely among the general public as well as among national and regional-level policy makers to ensure more efficient and effective rights and safety protection measures.

The violence and discrimination experienced by marginalized people throughout Central America are not well documented or analyzed. This lack of data limits the effectiveness of mechanisms designed to protect human rights and safety. The IAF supports community-led efforts to protect human rights and promote inclusion through improved data collection.

Our grantee Asociacin Iniciativa Latinoamericana por los Datos Abiertos (ILDA) will partner with five Central American-based organizations to enhance their ability to gather and analyze data regarding acts of discrimination and hate crimes at the country and regional level.

ILDA and the local organizations will develop communications strategies to share this information widely among the general public as well as among national and regional-level policy makers to ensure more efficient and effective rights and safety protection measures.
