Founded in 1989 as a non-profit, international service organization with a deep belief in the power of human rights learning for economic and social transformation. We have worked directly and indirectly with our network of affiliates and partners in over 60 countries around the world to develop and advance the learning about human rights as way of life, enabling women and men to re-imagine their lives and discover their own power to define the destiny of their community. Participating in the planning of their future, the human rights framework provides them with the guideline to pursue their hopes.
