Overview
Article 19 Mexico is an organization that works to protect and promote freedom of speech, including protection of journalists. The recent assassination of photo journalist Ruben Espinosa in Mexico City has intensified the already existing staff tensions and burnout. This grant will allow A19 to design a strategy targeted to the organization's human resources, with the following objectives: 1. Design an internal conflict resolution mechanism to improve personal relationships within the organization; 2. Review and strengthen institutional policies and protocols regarding issues affecting staff, such as security and protection, or burnout; and, 3. Create a profile for every position and staff member in the organization.
