Empowering SMB Entrepreneurs, Upholding Rights
Donation protected
Introduction
At Justice pour Tous Internationale / Justice for All International, we are committed to addressing global injustices and advocating for human rights. Today, we are excited to launch our fundraiser, "Empowering SMB Entrepreneurs, Upholding Rights", which seeks to address the protection gap that exists for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) within global regulatory frameworks.
Why This Campaign Matters
Despite their vital role in fostering economic growth, innovation, and prosperity, SMBs often face overwhelming challenges due to complex regulatory frameworks designed to counter money laundering and terrorism financing. While these regulations are crucial for global security, they often inadvertently burden SMB entrepreneurs with compliance requirements that stifle their growth.
SMB entrepreneurs, by nature, should remain neutral and focused on their business operations, contributing to economic and social development without being dragged into political or security-related issues. Unfortunately, existing regulatory frameworks sometimes pull them into political conflicts, further complicating their ability to thrive.
Through our work, we have identified a significant gap in the UN human rights system, which lacks a dedicated mandate to address the rights and challenges of SMB entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs, especially from small and medium-sized businesses, do not have a specialized mechanism to protect their rights within the international human rights framework. This is where our mission becomes crucial.
Our Ultimate Goal
We advocate for the establishment of a UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of entrepreneurs—a mandate that would focus on the rights and challenges of these businesses, ensuring they receive the attention and protection they deserve at an international level. This rapporteur would provide a dedicated focus to address the unique difficulties SMB entrepreneurs face, including ensuring their neutrality in political issues while allowing for more effective global protections.
How Your Donations Will Help
Your contributions will allow us to:
- Collaborate with legal experts to advocate for balanced legal reforms that protect SMB entrepreneurs' rights while ensuring global security.
- Develop programs to help SMBs navigate complex regulatory frameworks, ensuring compliance without stifling innovation.
- Engage with policymakers and push for fair regulatory frameworks that consider the specific challenges faced by SMBs and ensure they remain neutral in political issues.
- Highlight the effects of current regulations on SMBs and push for changes that support entrepreneurial freedom and protect their neutrality.
Our Work So Far
Our organization has already engaged in advocacy efforts with UN mechanisms, calling for a more inclusive system that acknowledges the struggles of entrepreneurs globally. By assisting entrepreneurs in navigating human rights violations, we have laid the groundwork for the reforms needed in international and national systems to address this issue.
