Impact

Human Rights House Foundation (HRHF) believes that to achieve lasting human rights change, human rights actors must co-operate, develop their capacity, communicate and promote human rights to society, and, especially where oppression is severe, receive protection and support in their own and from other countries.

Our strategy

Human Rights House Foundation believes that to achieve lasting human rights change, human rights actors must cooperate, develop their capacity, communicate and promote human rights to society, and, especially where oppression is severe, receive protection and support in their own and from other countries.

To achieve its vision, HRHF works to:

Establish and support Human Rights Houses

HRHF establishes and supports Human Rights Houses and their member organisations, and contributes to building their capacities to effectively address the human rights needs of their societies.

Connect Human Rights Houses

HRHF connects Human Rights Houses into an international Network, and supports collaboration, knowledge, and experience exchange in order to continuously strengthen the Network.

Protect human rights defenders

HRHF and Human Rights Houses promote the positive role of human rights defenders, and respond to, and advocate against, reprisals to ensure that Network members and human rights defenders and organisations are better protected.

Advance four rights core to human rights work

HRHF and Human Rights Houses promote the freedoms of assembly, association, and expression and the right to be a human rights defender, advocating together for strong international mechanisms and standards and joining with Network partners on national advocacy campaigns.

By these actions, HRHF helps to create fair societies in which everyone can safely and freely promote and enjoy all human rights.
