About
Help us shine a light on human rights in East Asia
What we do
Over the last 5 years we have:
- Designed and tested innovative research methods to measure human rights.
- Produced data on Economic and Social Rights for 197 countries, showing how well countries are using their resources to improve people’s lives.
- Expanded our Civil and Political Rights survey to 33 countries to track hard-to-measure rights like freedom from torture and freedom of speech.
- Secured foundational funding, including from the Open Society Foundations, the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy, and a number of impact-oriented private donors. We will further diversify our institutional funders, but not in time to support this Asia expansion, which must kick off by end-September 2020.
Asia: our next priority
- Expand our Civil and Political Rights survey, ASAP, to as many countries in East and South East Asia as funding permits.
- Increase our data’s impact via targeted communications, translation, and outreach.
How can you help?
Together, we can shine a light on human rights in this important region of the world. We already have many volunteers contributing their time and energy to HRMI's work. This campaign is about attracting more financial supporters. Money carries the power and intention we give it. If this work is consistent with your aspirations and hopes for humanity, we invite you to join the HRMI team as a financial sponsor.
You can help HRMI produce robust, independent human rights measurements that help focus the world's attention on what really matters: the conditions that allow us each to flourish as human beings.
Will you make a donation today to support this work?
This campaign will close on 30 September 2020. If you would like to provide support in a smaller, but steady and ongoing way, please consider supporting us via our Patreon page.
We also invite you to share this opportunity in your networks. Please share the link to this campaign (https://opencollective.com/hrmi), or this 1-page PDF.
