Economic Rights
IDEALS provides development legal assistance to farmers and agrarian reform beneficiaries. We see that issues confronting the rural sector and the Philippine trade are inextricably linked, thus, our Economic Rights Programme have focused on projects related to international trade, land rights, and inclusive business. We form part of a wide movement to ensure that local business models promote human rights, accountability, and gender equality.
