    What are human rights to you? The foundation for an open & inclusive society. The opportunity to defend what we believe in. The fight not just for people, but for nature. It’s a big question, but someone’s got to ask it. And we want to know what you think.

    Freedom sparks joy. Throw out injustice, keep human rights. (P.S. We've been watching way too much Marie Kondo on .)

    Rahaf’s story sends an important message: people around the 🌍 rallied to support her plea for protection & people power won over those who tried to oppress her. Rahaf took incredible risks to flee her home & break Saudi Arabia’s male guardianship rules.

    It’s a big question, but someone’s got to ask it. We asked 11 prominent activists about the essence of human rights. Here’s what they said.

    Activists are being harassed, independent media houses have been raided, and organizations like and Greenpeace are being targeted by Indian authorities because of their work. We need to speak out now.

    Latest: Thai immig chief Surachate 'Big Joke' Hakparn says they "wouldn't send someone to their death" & that will get to see Rahaf at 5pm (in 40min). But Thailand has a poor track record of respecting asylum rights, including recognised refugees.
