Help us make changes in 3 steps
The Story of Time
The invisible injuries of memory and trauma are often consigned to the role of extra or collateral abuse and atrocity. The extent to which the deep times of injury hinder protection, and reproduce harm, are not well understood. Rights for Time covers this gap by reframing the story of time in relation to critical categories, including those of policy, language, and humanitarian practice.
Join the Network
We aim to produce a sea-change by providing a new knowledge and evidence base that will allow local, national and international policy models to respond more effectively, deeply, and enduringly to the deep times of conflict. To that end, we are funding creative and impactful projects which take time as a serious lens for intervention. Click below for details on how to apply and join the network.
Our Results
Over the last two years, we have worked with partners in Kenya, Rwanda, Jordan, Palestine, and Lebanon on case studies which tackle time from unique perspectives. Our results, which include seminars, research papers, and policy reports, among other outputs, may be found here. We will regularly publish results from our current funding call throughout 2023.
