World Human Rights Federation (WHRF) is an international organization of individuals and organizations working for protection and promotion of human rights. It works with human right activists/defenders and organizations to promote and defend the human rights of everyone all over the world. Our vision is of a world in which the human rights of all are fully respected and enjoyed in conditions of global peace. The WHRF’s role is to keep that vision to the forefront through constant encouragement of the international community and its volunteers across the globe, to uphold universally agreed human rights standards.

It is our job to alert Governments and the world community to the daily reality that these standards are too often ignored or unfulfilled and to be a voice for the victims of human rights violations everywhere. It is also our role to press the inernational community as whole to take the steps that can prevent violations, including support for the right to development. The human person is at the centre of everything the WHRF does.The human rights message is one of hope and empowerment. We can all make a difference by becoming aware of how the different parts of the international human rights system, including the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, seek to encourage the implementation of internationally agreed standards where they matter, in the daily lives of people.We all have a part to play in making the enjoyment of all human rights a reality for everyone.
