The answer

As long as the purpose of the body is to support the oppressed and restore their rights, and there is no defiance of the rulings of Islamic law, then the fundamental principle is the permissibility of working in it. If, however, some details of its work involve something forbidden, then the prohibition applies only to that specific action, and not to the work as a whole.
