HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION ORGANIZATION
Our researchers work in the field in 100 some countries, uncovering facts that create an undeniable record of human rights abuses.
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.
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.
The nationwide network offers quick response and pro bono expertise to those who have little or no access to the justice system. Lawyers offer legal representation and advice to people who cannot afford legal representation. WHRPO is part of the access to justice movement.
Over the past decade, the Channel has made a critical transition from individual litigation in the lower courts to filing public interest petitions in the High Courts and in the Supreme Court. Our experience is that a decisive and professional intervention at the level of the Supreme Court can bring about changes in retrogressive state policies and bring relief to millions.
In courts, in the media, and in various public and legislative for a, WHRPO is a strong advocate for laws and policies that promote and defend human rights. An important part of WHRPO as work involves advocacy against legislation and policies that undermine human rights. This includes working to increase public awareness through research and dissemination of accurate information on violations and anti-poor policies.
In crucial areas where adequate legislation is lacking or requires amendment, WHRPO has been at the forefront of efforts to formulate laws and policies – such as against child sexual abuse, against communal crimes, and for the right to food and work. WHRPO Counseling efforts encourage debates and discussions at the local, state, and national levels.
There is today a direct link between the public interest petitions done by WHRPO and the campaigns it participates in and convenes. The latter create awareness about the issues, facilitate the dissemination of the orders passed by the courts, and make the process for change participatory. This tells the judiciary that society is concerned about the outcome of the cases, and therefore makes the judiciary more responsive to the needs of civil society.
Asserting everyone’s right to access and everyone’s ability to understand the law – we attempt to demystify legal terms, concepts and procedures so that everyone, especially those neglected by the system of justice can find themselves more included. Law can then be the framework for liberation rather than of oppression by the elite. To do this, WHRPO, takes legal education as a mission.
