Wherever business goes, human rights were there first.

Wielding more economic power than many governments, multinational corporations are significant players in the global struggle for human rights. All companies have a responsibility to respect human rights in their operations, but all too often they are contributing to human rights abuses – either directly or indirectly. These abuses occur across a wide array of industries and take many forms:

• Forced, slave and child labor
• Discrimination in employment
• Repression of labor unions
• Profiteering from war crimes
• Forcible evictions of indigenous peoples
• Revenues fueling armed conflict
• Abuse by security forces
• Destructive impact on local communities
• Bankrolling government corruption
• Aiding and abetting repressive regimes

By joining SHARE POWER, you can help hold all kinds of corporations accountable for violations within and connected to their operations.
SHARE POWER is based on the idea that everyone is connected to multinational companies. No matter who you are, where you work, where you study, or where you live, you can find this connection and use it to influence them to change.
Find out how YOU are connected to powerful multinational companies and how you can pressure them to end abusive practices and be more responsible. No matter how much time you have, or your experience level, there are tons of ways for you to get involved. » What is Your Connection?
