Our Mission: 

 

We are people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights. Our purpose is to protect people 

wherever justice, freedom, truth and dignity are denied. We investigate and expose abuses, educate and mobilize 

the public, and help transform societies to create a safer, more just world. With more than 2.2 million supporters, 

activists and volunteers in over 150 countries, and complete independence from government, corporate or national 

interests, we work to protect human rights worldwide. Our vision is of a world in which every person - regardless of 

race, religion, gender, or ethnicity - enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human 

Rights and other international human rights standards.
