Our Work

Keeping the Constitutional mandate in focus, YHRD believes that freedom of expression can be revived and reclaimed only through meticulous documentation. Through research and advocacy, we aim to create informed public opinion and participation by ensuring access to information for vulnerable groups; making the justice system accessible for people and seeking accountability from institutions established to preserve democratic values and protect human rights. In this process, YHRD partners with various rights-based groups to further multi-stakeholder participation and engagement. We work on issues pertaining to human rights through the following methods –
