Donate | On Human Rights Day, contribute to a better world for all
Today is Human Rights Day. Today is the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It’s a day to say thanks and contribute to a better world through ISHR.
Because through our services, we strengthen and amplify the work of the courageous defenders who are shaping a future where everyone can enjoy their human rights. Here are just three recent examples of how we achieve this:
We protect defenders from intimidation and reprisals by authoritarian governments and unscrupulous corporations: learn more by watching our new video here (or click on the image below).
We mobilise progressive companies to respect and support human rights defenders and civic freedoms: read a landmark statement issued today by leading businesses with which we work.
We train and mentor defenders, building their capacity, providing them with direct access to influential networks and decision-makers, and supporting them to undertake strategic international advocacy that has significant impact on the ground: read about our alumni’s achievements here and learn more about the 2019 edition of our Human Rights Defender Advocacy Programme here!
Big or small, your contribution will help fund our 2019 human rights defender support and protection programme.
This Human Rights Day, please make a donation, spread the word, and help deliver real change!
Hong Kong's new national security legislation has sparked international concerns over its potential to further erode civil liberties and fundamental freedoms, and civil society engagement with the UN. ISHR calls for the repeal of this law and cease to interpret cooperation with UN bodies as a national security threat.
During an interactive dialogue with States at the Human Rights Council, the Group of Human Rights Experts on Nicaragua (GHREN) once again expressed its frustration at the lack of cooperation from the Nicaraguan authorities.
Nazifa Jalali, along with ISHR, called on UN Member States to establish a mandated investigative mechanism to contribute towards accountability for the Taliban's human rights violations, and for States to continue to support Afghanistan’s human rights movement.
