Human Rights Watch investigates and reports on abuses happening in all corners of the world. With 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.
Human Rights Watch directs their advocacy towards governments, armed groups and businesses, pushing them to change or enforce their laws, policies and practices. To ensure independence, Human Rights Watch refuses government funding and carefully reviews all donations to ensure that they are consistent with their policies, mission, and values.
Human Rights Watch partners with organizations large and small across the globe to protect embattled activists and to help hold abusers to account and bring justice to victims.
