Inter Pares' 2016 Annual Report - Hope at the Grassroots

Our source of inspiration is the determination of the people with whom we work, and in our shared belief that another world is possible. Our donors’ generous support helps bring together women activists from Central America and Colombia to share peacebuilding experiences that will inform Colombia’s first days under a new peace agreement. Our community of supporters and allies has enabled public events across Canada to raise awareness about the plight of thousands of migrant workers whose lack of permanent immigration status makes them vulnerable to abuse at the hands of their employers. Together, we are standing up for the rights of communities harmed by Canadian mining companies, and we are creating new mechanisms to hold them accountable for harms they cause. In so many areas we see people coming together and change happening.
