Meet Our Volunteer Team
Human Rights Solidarity is an organisation devoted to the activism and advocacy of Human Rights around the globe. HRS started off as an unincorporated organization in early 2020 and is aiming at being recognized and registered as a charitable incorporated organization in 2022.
We are independent. HRS is a self-organised and volunteer-led organisation. The only allegiance we have is to our foundational principles that are incorporated into our founding documents and the Solidarity Principles.

What People Say About Human Rights Solidarity
Touching lives invites touching words. Defending the defenders starts with an applause. We received many; we share a few…
“As a Peer in the House of Lords, I have focused much of my agenda on human rights, and have been in contact with Human Rights Solidarity through this shared interest. With a focus on young people, Human Rights Solidarity’s educational programs will reach those who are set to step into the world and become future leaders, and their advocacy portfolio will continue to bring light to that which remains unjust. I have been very impressed by their work thus far, and believe that gaining charitable status will alow them to increase their reach across the country and further develop their student base. ”

Roger Roberts
Lord of Llandudno“I want to, first of all, applaud the organisation; because you are young people who are doing this. We need young people to step up to the challenges that exist currently. We have many venerable old organisations which have been treading this path, but to see a group of young human rights defenders get their act together and organise this event... and you have got a great website and I think your campaigns are really, really cool... so I just wanted to say something about the fact that your organisation is new and young but it's also very very dynamic. ”

Julie Ward
Former MEP“One of the priorities for me is young people. In particular, I am trying to develop work on children, because more children are getting involved in human rights, particularly in defence of climate justice… That was why I really wanted to be here [in the Celebrating Young Human Rights Defenders program of Human Rights Solidarity]. It is not very often that I am invited to a young people’s gathering.”
