Conectas Human Rights has been classified as one of the one hundred best non-governmental organizations in Brazil. The list of the “Best NGOs Award”, available at this link, was released on Friday, November 27, by the Instituto Doar and by the organizations Ambev Voa and O Mundo que Queremos.

“We are very pleased with this recognition, especially in a year as difficult and challenging as this one. However, none of Conectas’ achievements are ours alone. Networking is in our DNA, and our partners as just as dedicated and committed as we are to protecting and fighting for what is most important and fundamental in people’s lives, especially the lives of the most vulnerable groups,” said Juana Kweitel, executive director of Conectas.
According to the organizers of the event, this year 670 organizations registered and competed for the award.

The topics covered in the selection criteria were: Cause and Working Strategy, Representation and Responsibility, Management and Planning, Financing Strategy, and Communication and Accountability.
