How Human Rights Watch describes reporting on conflict, refugees, speech, and inequality

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.

Human Rights Watch investigates and reports on human rights conditions in countries around the world.

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.

Human Rights Watch presents this as ongoing work rather than a single event. The public category Looty Foundation uses, Human Rights & Justice, is a browsing label. It is not a substitute for the organization's own account of who it serves and how.
