About us
Mission
Everyone has basic human rights. The right not to be discriminated against, the right to fair labour conditions, the right to freedom of speech and the right to optimal health care are some of the many human rights. They can be found in international conventions and are valid for all people.
Unfortunately, human rights are not always upheld. All over the world, people are exploited, discriminated against, tortured and silenced. Worldwide people stand up to defend their rights. Aim for human rights supports them. We are working towards a world in which everyone's rights will be respected. A world in which governments not only promise to uphold human rights, but also do as they say. A just world in which people are free and equal. We strive to realise this objective by:
- developing and promoting methods to make the effects of human rights policy and activities measurable;
- strengthening the capacities of human rights organisations abroad;
- advocacy to influence the human rights policy of governments and international organisations such as the European Union and the United Nations.
