Human Rights Watch

Human Rights Watch investigates and reports on human rights conditions in countries around the world. Its public work covers topics such as armed conflict, children’s rights, refugees and migrants, women’s rights, free expression, disability rights, and economic justice. Reports, photos, and video are how it documents abuses and presses for change.

The organization is an advocacy and research group rather than a relief agency. It uses evidence from the field to inform the public, governments, and international bodies about harms that might otherwise stay hidden.
