We envision a world in which human rights is relevant and applies to each and every person and human rights strategies both prevent and protect people from abuse of power, poverty and discrimination.  Through the creation of forward-looking agendas aimed at effectively tackling pervasive and future human rights challenges, Human Rights Ahead seeks to realize this vision for all.

Our values

Equality, through which all people are entitled to life, liberty, rights, and the freedom to pursue happiness regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age, nationality and social or economic conditions;

Diversity, a value that enriches our perspectives and gives value and legitimacy to our work;

Accountability, the basis of trust in our internal practices and interactions with other actors in the human rights community;

Knowledge sharing, key to the enhanced protection of human rights, improved quality of people’s participation in society and the creation of forward looking human rights programmes;

Vision, dedication to changing daunting human rights realities by investing in efforts to generate better instruments and enabling contexts for human rights to flourish;

Integrity, as the basis of high quality, transparent and sustainable work.  
 

We assert that human rights apply to state, non-state, and individual actors, forming a standard measure by which these parties are accountable in both the public and private spheres;

We are committed to boosting the UDHR’s affirmative, transformative and emancipatory potential through the implementation of innovative mechanisms;

We are committed to advance interdisciplinary knowledge and intersectoral approaches;

We believe that access to systematized and strategic resources about global trends advances effective advocacy and optimises NGOs financial and human resources.
