Since Tricia founded RAID in 1998, this small but mighty NGO has been a trailblazer. RAID’s pioneering cases cover the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Tanzania, among others, and range from legal actions against mining companies complicit in war crimes to pressing stock markets to more effectively regulate companies involved in corruption and rights abuses.  

In 2008, RAID’s work led to the first ever determination that a British company had breached the human rights provisions of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, paving the way for other such cases. The precedent set helped lead to the adoption of explicit business and human rights standards by the United Nations in 2011.  

RAID’s casework and its efforts to influence international polices on corporate behavior are driven by the same core belief: no company, however powerful, should be above the law. Victims of corporate human rights abuses have a right to justice and redress, no matter where they live.  

All of us at RAID want to continue the remarkable work that Tricia started. Your support will permit RAID’s hard-hitting research into corporate human rights abuses and its dogged pursuit of justice for the victims of corporate crime to continue.  We would be so grateful for your support.
