world human rights watch
Human Rights Watch investigates and reports on abuses happening in all corners
of the world. We are roughly 550 plus people of 70-plus nationalities who are
country experts, lawyers, journalists, and others who work to protect the most
at risk, from vulnerable minorities and civilians in wartime, to refugees and
children in need. We direct our advocacy towards governments, armed groups and
businesses, pushing them to change or enforce their laws, policies and
practices. To ensure our independence, we refuse government funding and
carefully review all donations to ensure that they are consistent with our
policies, mission, and values. We partner with organizations large and small
across the globe to protect embattled activists and to help hold abusers to
account and bring justice to victims.
