What communities can do

  • Homeless projects

  • Fairness audits

Campaigns

  • Land Rights Now, Global Call to Action on Indigenous and Community Land Rights

Why it matters

Social inclusion, the converse of social exclusion, is affirmative action to change the circumstances and habits that lead to (or have led to) social exclusion. The World Bank defines social inclusion as the process of improving the ability, opportunity, and dignity of people, disadvantaged on the basis of their identity, to take part in society. W
