Add Your Name: Defend Human Rights Worldwide

In 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, proclaiming the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human race. Yet as conflicts escalate and authoritarianism rises, so do human rights abuses and violations worldwide.

HRW remains laser-focused on building a world where everyone's fundamental rights and freedoms are respected, protected and advanced. In honor of Human Rights Day, please take a moment to add your name today to defend and protect human rights for everyone, everywhere.

Human Rights Watch investigates and reports on abuses happening in all corners of the world.

In order to maintain our independence, we accept no money from any government.

We rely solely on the generosity of people like you to defend human rights.
