Workshops

Community defence in practice.
Workshops turn rights into plans and plans into action.
We build capacity, not dependence.

Employment basics

Our approach

We teach while we do.
We explain options, name risks, and draft together.
You leave with tools you can pass on.

Maqāṣid as measure: life, mind, dignity, family, livelihood.
If a step does not reduce harm without cages or cameras, we cut it.
