Institutional welcome

As the President of the Board of Trustees of the International Human Rights Foundation, I am delighted to welcome you to our website. We sincerely hope that your visit is both informative and valuable, that you find the information you seek, and that you gain deeper insight into our mission, initiatives, and the dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to advance our cause.

A little over a decade ago, a diverse group of activists came together with a shared belief that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, and that we have an inherent duty to treat one another with fraternity. Together, they established this secular, pluralistic, non-violent, feminist, non-sectarian, non-partisan, non-commercial, international, and nonprofit organisation. Our organisation is devoted to disseminating the ideas, principles, and values embodied in the letter and spirit of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Today, the International Human Rights Foundation operates in fourteen countries with a dedicated team committed to raising awareness, informing, defending, mobilising, educating, and, above all, fostering critical thinking as an essential precursor to effective action.

The global challenges we face today, such as exclusion, inequality, violence, hunger, and humiliation, take various forms and demand our attention. As global citizens, we must act in defence of human rights. Every contribution, no matter how modest, is valuable and demonstrates solidarity. It is also a prudent act of self-defence. In contrast to privileges that depend on the deprivation of others, the arithmetic of human rights is inherently additive: by extending the rights of others, we inherently extend our own.

If you are seeking advice, information, or ways to support our endeavours, we warmly welcome you to our community.
