The Advocates for Human Rights established the Discover Human Rights Institute in 2007 to contribute to the building of a U.S.-based human rights movement. Our vision is to build a human rights-based advocacy movement in the United States so that U.S. civil society becomes a more active participant in the global human rights movement.  Through the Institute, we provide educational resources and tools to help people learn about and apply international human rights standards in their daily lives, their families, their workplaces, and their communities. Our resources are designed for easy access and use in a variety of contexts and for different audiences.  We train teachers, students, and community educators about international human rights standards and encourage people to “get informed, get involved, and get others interested” in human rights.
