We live in a time of challenge and divisiveness driven by interconnected and existential threats. The war and conflict landscape is changing due to the pandemic, climate change, resource scarcity, digital technologies, disinformation as well as racial and economic injustices. We can now count more autocracies than democracies and distrust in government and institutions has eroded the basic social contract. And yet, many of us are responding to this challenging time feeling a deep sense of urgency and responsibility to act and put new resources to work. At a time when the stakes are so high, how can we sustain the gains made by the human rights movement? And as social investors, how can we collectively adopt approaches and mindsets that lead us toward peaceful, just, inclusive societies with human rights at the center?
