ANALYZE ROOT CAUSES • Key Questions: • Why is this problem happening to a particular sector of the population? • What are the causes, both immediate and long-term, of the rights violations?
Tool: Causality Analysis • Immediate causes: the needs that are not being addressed or the violations that are occurring. • Legal and economic context: the policies, laws, and resource constraints that are leading to unmet needs and rights violations. • Root/structural causes: societal attitudes and behaviors, cultural forces, and political and economic systems that perpetuate unequal laws and ongoing rights violations.
