In collaboration with local partners, governments, and specialists, we are making a difference in more than 60 countries around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From accelerating the shift to decarbonisation, to protecting natural habitats, and challenging governments and business to do better &#8211; every action we take is aimed at shaping a healthier, sustainable world for generations to come. We are a highly respected global organisation, known for our impact. Our CEO, James Thornton, was awarded&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.charitytimes.com\/awards\/winners2020.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Charity Leader of the Year<\/a>&nbsp;at the&nbsp;2020 Charity Times\u2019 Awards&nbsp;and our peers regard us as the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenfunders.org\/2017\/07\/11\/the-most-effective-environmental-groups-as-rated-by-their-peers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UK\u2019s most effective environmental organisation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have made substantial progress but there is so much more to be done to protect people and the planet.

It took ten years, but we finally won. Upholding the rule of law is slow, painstaking work. We do it because it\u2019s our best hope for a cleaner, greener world.

Our expertise and overarching drive to secure a more sustainable planet for all enables our work to be a vehicle for creating fundamental change. Thank you to all of you at Jus Mundi for recognising the impact of ClientEarth\u2019s work and choosing to support us. Like all charities, balancing impact and organisational resilience is one of our great challenges. The kind of funding a charity receives plays a vital part in getting this balance right. Most of our income is committed to projects and their costs, and it is only thanks to unrestricted donation such as yours that are able to fund the infrastructure that underpins all of our work. We are most grateful for your donation and thrilled to announce it has been matched by another donor, therefore increasing the impact of your donation.

An&nbsp;observatory&nbsp;hosted on a website with&nbsp;an electronic database&nbsp;to collect and publish different court decisions affecting women\u2019s human rights from all over Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since last year, MRA has reported to Jus Mundi that it enhanced and expanded its online Observatory of domestic court decisions in women&#8217;s rights cases at <a href=\"http:\/\/marsadnissa.ma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/marsadnissa.ma\/<\/a> to monitor and document the justice system\u2019s implementation of the recently enacted Law 103-13 on violence against women in Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MRA was also able to develop partnerships with local NGOs and, lawyers and public actors in diverse regions across the country to collect, code and analyze a diversity of local court decisions and make these data publicly available. These decisions are then analyzed from a human right perspective. Online launch conferences to present and promote the site among lawyers and NGOs and law schools in Morocco, United States, and France coming early next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jus Mundi is proudly supporting MRA and if you\u2019d like to&nbsp;donate or&nbsp;volunteer&nbsp;for their initiatives, contact them directly using this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mrawomen.ma\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year interview in English &amp; French <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.jusmundi.com\/interview-with-mobilising-for-rights-associates-mra-a-moroccan-ngo-defending-womens-rights\/youtube.com\/watch?v=uRWcw9Ii7xQ&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.
