Overview
Human Rights Watch works to protect vulnerable and marginalized people across the globe from persectution and abuse. It does so both by conducting unique research into abusive systems and policies, and by seeking accountability for those who have violated human rights, in order to ensure real and lasting change. General support for Human Rights Watch will continue a long-standing relationship that the Foundation has with this important non-profit organization and will allow it to continue to allocate funds flexibly to strategically respond to the most urgent, far-reaching, and egregious human rights violations taking place around the world and to target, in particular, those where their reporting, advocacy, and outreach will have the deepest and most positive impact on rectifying the situations at hand.
