Human Rights Research and Reporting

ESC rights may be advanced through human rights research and reporting. Human rights defenders should, for example, conduct comparative research to find measurable and replicable examples of good practices on poverty reduction. Research may also be a powerful tool to promote the rights of women and other marginalized groups through data disaggregation that distill the peculiar experiences and situations of such groups in society.
