The Torchlight Collective elevates leading technical experts and advocates in global health, human rights, social movements, gender equality, and international development. We are advocates, researchers, policy wonks, creatives, human rights activists, community organizers, development professionals, writers, communicators, trainers, and journalists.

What brings us together is our shared vision of a world where all communities have access to the tools, financing, and resources they need to support their self-determination, upend global systems of oppression, and realize their health, wellbeing, and human rights.
