Latin American Human Rights
For more than 400 years, Jesuits have served as educators and missionaries in Latin America. Today, we maintain close relationships with our Latin American partners who stand with the poor and the excluded of the region. We advocate for policies that address the root causes of threats to human rights in Latin America, including poverty, violence, corruption, weak judicial systems and a lack of access to quality education.

Our Latin American Human Rights Priorities
Latin American policy must go beyond traditional security assistance. We work closely with our regional partners to advocate for creative, evidence-based solutions to regional challenges, both at the national level and in front of international bodies.
