 Human Rights Watch: Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
International human rights law requires governments to respect individuals’ civil and political rights – such as their rights to free speech, fair trial, and political participation – and to promote their economic, social and cultural rights – such as their rights to health care and education.
Human Rights Watch considers that economic, social, and cultural rights are an integral part of the body of international human rights law, with the same character and standing as civil and political rights.
We conduct research and advocacy on economic, social, and cultural rights using the same methodology that we use with respect to civil and political rights and subject to the same criteria, namely, the ability to identify a rights violation, a violator, and a remedy to address the violation.

 Co-Cultural Theory
People choose different strategies, such as trying to eliminate stereotypes, “passing” (trying to go along as a member of the dominant group), working to build connections with the dominant group, or even avoiding the dominant group (for example, by creating Black churches or organizations, working within the “Rainbow coalition” of businesses, etc.).
You may have been the member of the “co-culture” (a cultural group that is at a power disadvantage in relation to the dominant group)—or you may have been in the dominant group.
Special note: These are behaviors that oppressed groups, not dominant groups engage in (we still don’t have a good theory to describe what behaviors dominant members engage in!).
