ICAAD Information

Vision: As societies build walls of separation between communities, ICAAD works to remove each brick to illuminate our common humanity. Mission: International Center for Advocates Against Discrimination (ICAAD) combats structural discrimination and promotes human rights norms consistent with public international law. Structural discrimination refers to systems of inequality that provide a social, political, cultural, or economic advantage to a dominant group while furthering barriers of exclusion that make marginalized communities more susceptible to violence and indignity. By leveraging partnerships, ICAAD brings together a passionate multidisciplinary team of lawyers, data scientists, universities, and design strategists to improve access to justice for women, girls, and vulnerable communities while strengthening the capacity of civil society.
