What we do
Basic Human Rights works to protect the rights of most vulnerable groups in conflict, post-conflict and transition societies. Our main focus is on children and women affected by violence, poverty, natural disaster, and socio-economic constraints. We emphasise on participatory approach and believe in empowering civil society to vie for social transformation through active participation.
Emergency & Relief:
Basic Human Rights mandate is to respond to any kind of major disaster in any part of the world through:
