We work at the intersection of
languages, digital and human rights.
Building on the remarkable successes of #GLAD22 and #GLAD23, #GLAD24 will continue the Global Coalition for Language Rights’ vital mission of advocating for language rights and linguistic justice around the world.
​
Your participation is crucial in spreading the message of language rights. You can join #GLAD24 by organizing a live event, such as a workshop, seminar, webinar, panel discussion, blog post, podcast episode, or live talks, during the event period (February 19 - March 1, 2024).

The goals of our Coalition are:
-
To support global efforts towards increasing access to critical information/services
-
To support equal digital representation beyond language barriers
-
To create proactive responses to social, educational, economic and environmental challenges that include not only speakers of mainstream languages, but also Indigenous languages and underrepresented languages.
​
In other words, our aim is to engage in a global conversation that will allow us to be more effective locally.
Our mandate is:
-
To support efforts toward ensuring language rights for all people.
-
To provide a forum where organizations can offer each other support in meeting daily challenges.
-
To gain increased visibility for our work.
-
To keep members informed about one another’s work.
-
To provide opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing, including developing resources (e.g. creative commons localization and advocacy resources).
-
Support one another’s advocacy efforts and create opportunities for joint advocacy and offer opportunities for networking.
