OUR WORK
Grounding our work in a deep commitment to individual liberty, HRF aims to raise awareness about both the nature and vulnerability of freedom around the world. Our programs provide education about what constitutes a free society, why freedom matters, and how freedom is nurtured, developed, and sustained. We aim to inform the broadest range of individuals possible—from leaders, experts, intellectuals, and the general public—about how best to promote freedom and tolerance in troubled regions of the globe. HRF’s programs include a broad range of initiatives, such as successful campaigns to free political prisoners; on-the-ground education in closed societies; individual rights seminars on Capitol Hill; production of popular films and other media; authoritative legal analyses; and the organization and production of engaging, informative events around the world.

The Human Rights Foundation was incorporated in 2005, and opened its offices in New York in August of 2006.
