Mission

Fortify Rights is an award-winning human rights organization working to ensure human rights for all. Founded in 2013, we are a team of human rights defenders who believe in the influence of evidence-based research, the power of strategic truth-telling, and the importance of working in close collaboration with individuals, communities, and movements pushing for change. We bring laws, policies, and practices in line with human rights standards by combining commonly separate areas of the international human rights movement: we (1) investigate human rights violations, (2) engage people with power on potential solutions, and (3) strengthen the work of human rights defenders by service through technical support, access to opportunities, and mitigating security risks and reprisals.
