INTERFAITH COLLABORATION AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN WELCOMING VULNERABLE PEOPLE: FOUNDATIONS AND PERSPECTIVES OF THE TOCA PROJECT

Vollständiger Abstract

Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?

This study analyzes interreligious cooperation as a strategy for welcoming, protecting, and promoting the human rights of people experiencing social vulnerability. It assumes that religious organizations and faith-based initiatives play an important role in building solidarity networks, particularly in contexts marked by poverty, exclusion, migration, lack of protection, and weakened social ties. The study discusses the legal and social foundations of such action, considering human dignity, equality, religious freedom, and social rights. It also examines cooperation among different religious traditions as a mechanism capable of expanding resources, strengthening community networks, and promoting citizenship. Within this framework, the TOCA Project is presented as a perspective for interreligious cooperation aimed at transforming merely charitable practices into actions oriented toward the protection of rights, autonomy, and social inclusion.
