Jim Fitzgerald is the Director of the Equal Rights Trust, an independent international non-governmental organisation which exists to eliminate all forms of discrimination and ensure everyone can participate in life on an equal basis. The Trust works in partnership with civil society organisations and lawyers and others, providing the legal, strategic and practical support which they need to secure the adoption, enforcement and implementation of comprehensive equality laws. It’s latest publication – Together for Equality – brings together testimony from its partners in 16 different countries to explore why and how a comprehensive, collaborative approach to combating discrimination is effective.
