Human Rights

SHARE's commitment to human rights dates back to our solidarity with the people of El Salvador during the 12 year Civil War. At that time, SHARE's grassroots advocacy efforts were instrumental in stopping US funding for the Salvadoran Military. Human Rights Advocacy on behalf of El Salvador's poor and marginalized is every bit as important today.
