About Us
CASER
The Citizens Advocacy for Social & Economic Rights (CASER) is a Nigerian civil society organisation based in Abuja. We use public-interest litigation, access to information, policy advocacy and public education to defend rights and hold institutions accountable for decisions that affect people’s lives.
AREAS OF WORK
Rights in Everyday Life
- Access to justice and human dignity. We use courts and oversight institutions to address rights violations and seek remedies.
- Work, health and living standards. We advocate for safer recruitment, fair working conditions, access to essential healthcare and protection for people making major household investments.
- Accountable government. We request public records and scrutinise procurement, regulatory decisions and the use of public resources.
- Food, science and development. We promote public access to the benefits of scientific progress and advocate for effective oversight of the technologies and products people rely on.
