An Ateneo-based human rights organization, ESCR-Asia focuses on the rights  related to health, education, adequate standards of living (adequate food, shelter and water), work, culture and other ESC-related rights. We dedicate our efforts to pushing for human rights for all, with emphasis on the marginalized. Our marginalized partners belong to the informal sector—artisanal fisherfolks, street vendors, and small transport leaders. These vulnerable groups hardly receive social protection, and are barely recognized despite their contribution to the country’s economy.
