Human Rights Watch

Information

Organization's Own Description:

Human Rights Watch investigates and reports on abuses happening in all corners of the world. We are roughly 450 people of 70-plus nationalities who are country experts, lawyers, journalists, and others who work to protect the most at risk, from vulnerable minorities and civilians in wartime, to refugees and children in need. We direct our advocacy towards governments, armed groups and businesses, pushing them to change or enforce their laws, policies and practices. To ensure our independence, we refuse government funding and corporate ties. We partner with organizations large and small across the globe to protect embattled activists and to help hold abusers to account and bring justice to victims.

    Rep.-elect Sean Casten's (D-Ill.) status as a political outsider helped to propel him to victory last Tuesday. But, like several other incoming members of the 116th Congress's freshman class, Casten isn't entirely the outsider that he’s made himself out to be. read more
