    Organizational structure: ESCR-Net Members—over 270 social movements, NGOs and advocates across 70 countries—“seek to build a global movement to make human rights and social justice a reality for all.” Our Board is elected from and by Members based on principles of regional and gender balance and inclusion of social movements. ESCR-Net is led by Members, who build shared analysis, define strategies and undertake collective action, foremost through Working Groups, including: Women and ESCR, Corporate Accountability, Strategic Litigation, Economic Policy, Monitoring of ESCR and Social Movements. In addition, members take collective action via network-wide campaigns and the System of Solidarity (SOS), which responds to urgent threats facing communities or individual defenders and works to strengthen their security and protection. Secretariat staff facilitate the strategic dialogue and joint advocacy of Members.
