ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
Mission
Human Rights Watch (HRW) defends the rights of people worldwide by scrupulously investigating abuses, exposing the facts and pressuring those with power to respect rights and secure justice.
It is an independent, international organization that plays a key role in a vibrant movement to uphold human dignity and advance the cause of human rights for all.
This work is guided by international human rights and humanitarian law.
HRW investigates and reports on abuses worldwide, partnering with organizations around the globe to protect embattled activists, bring justice to victims and hold abusers to account.
The HRW team is roughly 590 people of 79 nationalities, including world-leading country experts, lawyers, journalists, data analysts and others who are fighting to protect the most at-risk, from vulnerable minorities and civilians in wartime, to refugees, children and older people.
This advocacy is directed towards governments, non-state actors and businesses, pushing them to change or enforce their laws, policies, and practices.
To ensure full independence, HRW does not accept any government funding and carefully reviews all donations to ensure consistency with its policies, mission and values.
By investigating and exposing human rights abuses, HRW works to create a world where everyone is treated fairly and equitably, regardless of their race or ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability and any other dimension of identity.
It strives to uphold the firm belief "that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, (Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights).
History
HRW was founded in 1978 as "Helsinki Watch" to investigate rights abuses in countries that signed the Helsinki Accords, most notably those behind the Iron Curtain.
Since then, its work has expanded to six continents. HRW has investigated massacres and even genocides, along with government take-overs of media and the baseless arrests of activists and political opposition figures.
Concurrently, HRW expanded its scope to address abuses against those likely to face discrimination, including women, LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities.
When families victimized by war crimes found no justice at home, HRW championed international justice in international courts.
The research methods used have also developed with the times, from in-person interviews to incorporating satellite imagery to track the destruction of villages and city blocks, and mining big data and analyzing social media posts for evidence of human rights abuse.
Every mission circles back to HRW’s commitment to justice, dignity, compassion and equality.
Methodology
• Investigate : Researchers work in the field in roughly 100 countries, uncovering facts that create an undeniable record of human rights abuses.
• Expose : HRW tells the stories of what it finds, sharing them with millions of social media and online followers each day.
News media cite HRW more than 1000 times a day on average, furthering its reach.
Change : HRW meets with governments, the United Nations, non-state actors, rebel groups, corporations and others to apply pressure and ensure that policy is changed, laws are enforced, and justice is served.
Impact
When it comes to ending abuses and bringing perpetrators to justice, some victories are big and others are merely steps on a much longer journey to change, whether that change is immediate or incremental.
HRW works on issues for years and knows from experience how to transform deep-rooted problems.
HRW has been instrumental in some foundational victories for human rights. In one example, HRW's activity led to a worldwide landmine ban, for which it was awarded the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, along with other key parties.
HRW’s impact extends across a wide range of situations, such as the Russia-Ukraine War, repression in Myanmar, Taliban rule in Afghanistan, the conflict in Tigray, Covid-19, policing in the United States, and refugees in Europe.

Concurrently, HRW expanded its scope to address abuses against those likely to face discrimination, including women, LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities.
When families victimized by war crimes found no justice at home, HRW championed international justice in international courts.
The research methods used have also developed with the times, from in-person interviews to incorporating satellite imagery to track the destruction of villages and city blocks, and mining big data and analyzing social media posts for evidence of human rights abuse.
Every mission circles back to HRW’s commitment to justice, dignity, compassion and equality.
Methodology
• Investigate : Researchers work in the field in roughly 100 countries, uncovering facts that create an undeniable record of human rights abuses.
• Expose : HRW tells the stories of what it finds, sharing them with millions of social media and online followers each day.
News media cite HRW more than 1000 times a day on average, furthering its reach.
Change : HRW meets with governments, the United Nations, non-state actors, rebel groups, corporations and others to apply pressure and ensure that policy is changed, laws are enforced, and justice is served.
Impact
When it comes to ending abuses and bringing perpetrators to justice, some victories are big and others are merely steps on a much longer journey to change, whether that change is immediate or incremental.
HRW works on issues for years and knows from experience how to transform deep-rooted problems.
HRW has been instrumental in some foundational victories for human rights. In one example, HRW's activity led to a worldwide landmine ban, for which it was awarded the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, along with other key parties.
HRW’s impact extends across a wide range of situations, such as the Russia-Ukraine War, repression in Myanmar, Taliban rule in Afghanistan, the conflict in Tigray, Covid-19, policing in the United States, and refugees in Europe.
