Human Rights Project at the Urban Justice Center

The Human Rights Project (HRP) is a domestic human rights organization working to apply globally accepted human rights standards to advance social justice in the United States. HRP has been at the forefront of the domestic human rights movement for the past ten years, demonstrating new models of applying human rights standards, laws, and mechanisms to effectively advocate for the most vulnerable members of our society. Through public education, organizing, and human rights documentation, HRP uses a human rights framework to promote a higher standard of government accountability with a focus on the intersection of race, gender, and poverty. HRP is one of eight projects of the Urban Justice Center, an anti-poverty non-profit organization.
