Human Rights Watch investigates and reports on abuses happening in all corners of the world. We are roughly 550 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. 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.
