About Aim for human rights
- ©IRIN
Aim for human rights is a Dutch human rights organisation which helps people all over the world to stand up for their rights. Aim for human rights distinguishes itself by focusing on making human rights measurable, as well as by cooperating with local human rights organisations and businesses. In addition, we engage politicians and policymakers in discussions on the concrete implementation of human rights policy.
History
Aim for human rights was founded in 1981 by Hivos, Humanitas and Humanistisch Verbond. Until October 2007 the organisation was called the Netherlands Humanist Committee on Human Rights (HOM). The objective remains the same: to contribute on behalf of the humanist movement to a better compliance of human rights across the world. Read more
