EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Human Rights Watch investigates and reports on abuses happening in all corners of the world - including gender-based violence, violence against women, and femicide. The HRW directs its advocacy towards governments, armed groups, and businesses, pushing them to change or enforce their laws, policies, and practices. 

 

Together, we can use our influence—from advocating with world leaders to sharing the truth of what's happening on the ground—to help stop repression around the world. —Ken Roth, Executive Director

What We Do

Investigate: Our researchers work in the field in 100 countries, uncovering facts that create an undeniable record of human rights abuses.

Expose: We tell the stories of what we found, sharing them with millions of social media and online followers each day. News media often report on our investigations, furthering our reach.

Change: We meet with governments, the United Nations, rebel groups, corporations, and others to see that policy is changed, laws are enforced, and justice is served.
