We strive to work where human rights are least respected. In 2009 we left our previous geographical demarcation and opened up to becoming a global actor; continuing our work in Sweden, Eastern Europe, Western Balkans and establishing new collaborations in East Africa and Southeast Asia. Explore this map, or use the links beneath it, to read more about what we do, and where we do it.

Focus on discrimination

Protection against discrimination is the core of our work. One of the top issues on our agenda is to bring about all-inclusive laws against discrimination, and to make sure that governments oblige by them. In several countries laws are now in place as a result of our efforts. Use these links to read about the work we do and the changes we contribute to:

Our civil and political rights

In the photo exhibition Our Rights, made in collaboration with Swedish photographer Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin, you can learn more about the ten human rights we focus on. The exhibition has been on display in several places in Sweden and in the Western Balkans. If you are interested in displaying it in your home town or to show a digital version for tutoring purposes – please contact us by email or call 46 8 – 545 277 34. We are working to overcome some technical problems, and hopefully you will soon be able to see it here on our website.
