The Equal Rights Trust is supporting human rights defenders in Tajikistan to document patterns of discrimination in the country. In the face of mounting challenges for civil society, we have trained 20 civil society activists in how to interview victims of discrimination and compile evidence of discrimination and inequality on grounds including ethnicity and religion.
