Obstetric fistula is almost entirely preventable, its persistence is a sign health systems are failing to meet women’s needs. @WRAglobal, a #SparkofHope celebrated by The Elders, advocates for maternal health & rights, in hope to #EndFistula for good: https://t.co/eRWfatYTHH #UHC

Civil society actors are critical to bridging the #justice gap. @Microjusticia, an Elders’ #SparkofHope organisation, strives to register the “invisible” people in Argentina so that they can access health, education and justice: https://t.co/3m1CrtqtFi #JusticeForAll #WJForum

The US Supreme Court has ruled international organisations threatening lives & natural resources are not above the law, no matter where they operate. In this blog from @EarthRightsIntl, @KirkHerbertson explains this monumental development: https://t.co/pCm7p21i7H #SparkofHope

For generations, Kenya’s Nubiyan community has been discriminated against their citizenship rights. Watch this video to see how #SparkofHope @GlobalNamati is helping this community to access #justice: https://t.co/oRLlZ7uTGg #JusticeForAll

[The Elders @TheElders]

To honour #Mandela’s centenary, The Elders celebrated grassroots activists working to improve access to #justice. One #SparkofHope is Women’s Justice Initiative who provide free legal services to indigenous women in rural Guatemala: https://t.co/tDf09pzDBO #JusticeForAll

[Walk Together @WalkTogether_]

Last year @TheElders walked alongside grassroots #justice defenders to demand leaders support community-based approaches so the law works for everyone, everywhere. This is critical for the full implementation of #SDG 16 and providing #JusticeForAll by 2030.

[The Elders @TheElders]

More than 5 billion people live outside the protection of the law. The Elders are launching a new programme on Access to Justice because we want to see #JusticeForAll. Read our new position paper: https://t.co/EPm2RSWfxu

We are delighted to welcome three new Elders to the group, as we continue to fulfil Mandela’s mandate: support courage where there is fear, foster agreement where this is conflict and inspire hope where there is despair. https://t.co/whs6ZqOmIY

[Namati @GlobalNamati]

It's been a year since this @TEDTalks by our CEO @VivekHMaru was published.

SDG Advocate @almmura: 'What we need to do w/ partnerships is look at what has worked in a lot of these countries for decades, & refrain from re-inventing the conversation. Local orgs & leaders have been working on the #GlobalGoals for their entire lives' #SDGsHumanRights @UN_HRC
