DRL's objective is to address inter-communal tensions and related religious freedom abuses by both governmental actors and violent extremist groups in Northern Nigeria. Program approaches could include but are not limited to: documentation of religious freedom violations and assistance for victims to file a complaint, and seek resolution, with appropriate judicial bodies or with the Human Rights Commission; addressing societal pressures against or by any religious groups; promoting religious tolerance; encouraging intrafaith and interfaith dialogue to counteract tensions within or among religious groups; providing opportunities for individuals from different faith backgrounds to work collaboratively toward securing the rights of all citizens; or addressing religious freedom from a rule of law, good governance, and/or related framework.
