Global Human Rights Defence

About the company

Global Human Rights Defence (GHRD) is a UN ECOSOC NGO human rights organization based in The Hague that commits itself to the protection of human rights and credible human rights reporting. We pursue avenues that have received little to no attention from the general public and news coverage. We have research teams dedicated to different topics under the broad umbrella of human rights, such as Women’s Rights, Children’s Rights, or International Justice, and to different regions – East Asia, Southeast Asia and Pacific, Pakistan, Middle East, and Europe. We are also proud of our special United Nations research team that covers the various Human Rights Council sessions and General Assembly sessions. Rooted in the belief that every human being, irrespective of race, religion, gender, or background, deserves to live a life free from discrimination, oppression, and injustice, GHRD’s journey is inspired by the unfading principle that selfless action is the true agent of positive change. Drawing upon the universal principles of empathy and compassion, we tirelessly work towards building bridges, forging alliances, and nurturing a global community where human rights flourish.

 At the core of our mission lies an unwavering dedication to our four pivotal pillars of human rights advocacy. Our four pillars are: human rights and investigation, human rights lobby and advocacy, human rights and education, and human rights and empowerment. Our mission is to actively promote and protect human rights of minorities and marginalized groups in order to enhance their socio-economic status. This is done through an international platform of empowerment via education, advocacy, and lobbying to demand more effort from established organizations, institutions, media, and relevant authorities.We strive for the fulfillment of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Declaration on Rights of Minorities (1992). Our vision is to grant a world where the rights of all minorities and marginalized groups are respected and upheld in accordance with national and international laws, treaties and agreements.
