Welcome to the Discover Human RightsTM Institute of The Advocates for Human Rights where we hope that you will discover ways in which you can “get informed, get involved, and get others interested” in human rights! Since its establishment in 1983, The Advocates for Human Rights has been dedicated to promoting and defending human rights locally and globally through advocacy, research and education. The Advocates believes that education is one of the best ways to ensure long-term improvements in respect for human rights everywhere.
The Advocates for Human Rights has released its first edition of Discover Human Rights: A Human Rights Approach to Social Justice, a training manual aimed to help civil society organizations in the United States use human rights to combat entrenched poverty, discrimination, and injustice.
