The R2R Toolkit details the avenues to remedy, including grievance mechanisms and substantive remedies, at the disposal of defenders in seven selected jurisdictions and internationally.  It provides easy-to-use, step-by-step guidance on accessing remedy for business-related human rights impacts.

To ensure that the R2R Toolkit responds to the lived experiences of human rights defenders, it has been developed through consultations, safe space sessions and roundtable discussions with defenders and civil society organisations.
