“Citizens Charter for a Democratic Ethiopia”

Who We Are

Ethiopiawinnet is an independent, international civil society organization (CSO) for the promotion and defence of citizen rights for all Ethiopians.

 Its vision is spelled out in the “Citizens Charter for a Democratic Ethiopia,” which is the basis for all the activities and engagements of the organization. The mission of Ethiopiawinnet is the defense and advancement of the universally recognized human, civil, and political rights of the citizens of Ethiopia.

human rights

Rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status

Civil rights

Ensuring of peoples' physical and mental integrity, life, and safety

Political Rights

Natural justice (procedural fairness) in law, such as the rights of the accused, including the right to a fair trial; due process

What We do

Ethiopiawinnet envisions a world where ordinary citizens are empowered to participate fully as agents in the affairs of their communities and their country.

The public square has so far been dominated by the ruling political party, with fragmented opposition political parties enjoying only fleeting access. Without a strong and independent civic movement to defend basic freedoms (of speech, press, assembly, and association), civic trust will continue to be eroded. 

We have brought 11 organizations under one name

We have published constitutional papers at our annual symposiums

Our citizen's charter has been adopted by several organizations

Ethiopiawinet Council for the defense of citizen rights
