The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission has today announced the 24 organisations to be awarded a total of €350,000 in funding for projects under its Human Rights and Equality Grants Scheme 2024-25. The 2024-25 Grants Scheme’s themes are informed by the Commission’s strategic priorities set out in its Strategy Statement 2022-24. This year the Grants Scheme supported projects under the following strands:- Strand A: Advancing Economic Equality
- Strand B: Promoting Awareness of Rights and Access to Justice
- Strand C: Promoting Climate Justice, Environmental Justice and a Justice Transition
“The Human Rights and Equality Grant Scheme is hugely important to the work we do in IHREC. It allows civil society and local groups, who are at the coalface of their communities, to tackle the human rights and equality issues that affect them most. The insights and evidence they gather also frequently informs our own work. “We all have an equal right to justice, to economic equality and to a just transition. We look forward to seeing the outcomes of supporting these projects, with the shared aim of creating an equal, safer and more inclusive society for all of us.”ENDS/ For further information, please contact: Sarah Clarkin, IHREC Communications Manager 01 852 9641 / 087 468 7760 sarah.clarkin@ihrec.ie Follow us on twitter [X] @_IHREC
