We help Mexican vulnerable people re-integrate into the workforce and society
The first step to combat injustice and discrimination is that individuals, particularly those who are in a vulnerable situation, know their rights (and obligations) to enforce them. This is why during the month of July, the Human Rights Commission of Mexico City (CDHCDMX) had the generosity of giving a three-session workshop to the valedores to delve into the subject.
