Human Rights

The work of Travellers of North Cork is guided by the human rights based approach and we are committed to the principles of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

We are committed to working with the community to ensure participation in decision making and empowering the community to lead our work. We believe that all people deserve to live with dignity and respect.

TNC works to build networks with a wide range of groups that share our commitment to anti-discrimination and the fulfillment of people’s human rights and work together to ensure that these rights are recognised and where human rights are being denied, we challenge.

TNC are affiliated to:

  • Irish Traveller Movement (ITM)
  • Irish Network Against Racism (INAR)
  • United Against Racism
  • Traveller Justice and Equality Project UCC

LGBTQI+

Our LGBTQI+ Support Worker is Margarita O Driscoll, email: margaritaodtnc@gmail.com
