What is Rights & Justice Consulting?
Human Rights-Based Organizational Transformation
Rights & Justice helps mission-driven groups engage in human rights-based organizational transformation.
What does that mean?
People are at the center of most mission-driven organizations – as clients, staff, donors or allies. R&J recognizes that re-envisioning an organization’s mission, vision and values through a rights-based lens, can transform your work, strategies, goals and outcomes.
R&J helps make sure your organization walks its walk, centering people and fundamental rights at its core.
R&J also works to empower organizations to be bold - by achieving their mission, and doing it safely.
A rights-based approach lifts up people-centeredness to ensure that you are working through and with your values to achieve your goals and desired impact.
It’s easy to say. It’s really hard to do.
Sometimes small changes in approach, work methods, outlook or mindset can result in huge organizational shifts. Sometimes it requires a deep dive into planning and strategy. Often it takes someone on the outside to see what you may not be able to observe when you’re deeply inside of it all.
That's why we're here.

Why Rights & Justice?
In her long career as a nonprofit executive director, R&J Founder Hadar Harris has worked with organizations which often had clear values - but did not put them fully into action.
Having led major organizational transformations, she learned that by truly integrating a values-led, person-centered approach, organizations become more productive and impactful.
R&J is a passion project - to harmonize what we say and what we do, bringing human rights into the work of mission-driven organizations, to help them walk-the-walk.
