ICTJ
United StatesHuman Rights
ICTJ works to help societies in transition address legacies of massive human rights violations and build civic trust in state institutions as protectors of human rights. In the aftermath of mass atrocity and repression, we assist institutions and civil society groups—the people who are driving and shaping change in their societies—in considering measures to provide truth, accountability, and redress for past abuses. We do this by providing technical expertise and knowledge of relevant comparative experiences in transitional justice from across the globe.

Idasa Of South Africa
South AfricaHuman Rights
Idasa was founded by Frederick van Zyl Slabbert and Alex Boraine at the end of 1986 to help find an alternative to the politics of repression and to explore new ways of addressing polarisation between black and white South Africans. Idasa’s early work included facilitating meetings between meetings of the then banned political organisations and prominent white South Africans. One such meeting was the groundbreaking conference in Dakar, Senegal, attended by Afrikaners and exiled members of the ANC. After the unbanning of political organisations in 1990 and democratic elections in 1994, the focus of Idasa’s work shifted to the creation of a democratic culture in South Africa and strategic interventions to help the new democracy take root. Between 1990 and 1994, Idasa ran programmes that enabled groups from the old and new orders to work together to build inclusive, democratic structures in government and civil society.

IHS

Our services begin when individuals and families they enter the doors at one of our two emergency shelters: one for single women and families with children, and the other for single men. Our guests might be a person simply looking for a hot meal (which we serve three times daily) or a place to take a hot shower. Or, they could be a person or family in crisis who has nowhere to turn for a safe place to sleep and in need of support. IHS remains the only 24-hour walk-in, emergency shelter on Oahu and continues to provide a full range of services to men, women and families with children who are homeless and in danger of becoming homeless.

Our children are cared for by full time staff, local and international volunteers. There are no facilities within a 2 hour radius which specialises in baby care. This is the most rewarding experience to be part of as you watch children transformed through love and care, from broken and hurting individuals to healthy, whole and happy children.
