The Advocates for Human Rights works to change systems and conditions that cause human rights abuses and represents individual victims of human rights violations. We fight injustice and improve laws throughout the world. We develop partnerships and mobilize volunteers to address some of the most pressing issues of our time because we believe that everyone has the power and responsibility to advance human rights.
Human Rights abuses happen every day. Let's change it.
The Story of Mr. B
Mr. B was targeted in Uganda for his sexual orientation. When the passage of Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Law in 2014 unleashed a torrent of human rights violations against gay people, Mr. B needed to flee. Leaders within his community, and a U.S. Congressperson, helped him get a student visa for the United States. But that was only the first step toward rebuilding a life in safety - without asylum, Mr. B faced the ongoing threat of having to return to a country where same-sex conduct could result in the death penalty. In 2017, he filed his asylum application. With legal representation by The Advocates for Human Rights' expert staff and tenacious volunteers, Mr. B was granted asylum in August. His future is bright.
