Democracy is about people. The work of building resilient democracies that fortify meaningful participation for all people extends beyond analysis and observation. At IFES, our staff and partners work with global and local leaders to advance anti-corruption, inclusion, and technology for democracy, as well as the integrity of elections.

Jannatul Ferdous survived a fire that burned 60 percent of her body. Realizing there weren't many burn-related survivors represented in the disability rights movement, she founded Voice & Views, a human rights organization in Bangladesh that fights for the rights and inclusion of women with burn-related disabilities. To train other women with disabilities on how to influence disability rights policies and decision-making at the national and local levels, she participated in IFES's Power to Persuade program, funded by USAID's Nagorik program. She says women being able to take those messages and lessons back to their rural communities makes a huge impact. https://bit.ly/3SXvbxI
