Mission

We believe that achieving human rights and social justice begins with education. People can defend their rights— and the rights of others—only if they know what their rights are. At the same time, we understand that face-to-face dialogue is critical to ensuring that people are empowered to pursue social justice. Working in partnership with the United Nations, academic institutions, nonprofit and for-profit sectors, UHRI leverages technology to extend the reach of human rights information and maximize its impact through intergroup dialogue.
