Human Rights

Promoting Human Rights through Pro-Passion Projects.

At Pro-Passion Projects, we are dedicated to promoting and protecting human rights globally. We believe that every individual deserves dignity, equality, and justice, and we're committed to creating meaningful change in communities around the world.

Our volunteering and internship program offers a unique opportunity to make a tangible impact while gaining valuable experience and skills in the field of human rights advocacy and activism. Whether you're passionate about social justice, gender equality, minority rights, or any other aspect of human rights, there's a place for you in our team.

Our Mission: We believe that every person deserves to live a life free from discrimination, oppression, and injustice. Through our Human Rights projects, we strive to raise awareness, build capacity, and mobilize action to address systemic human rights violations and promote positive change.

Key Areas of Focus:

Advocacy and Awareness: We engage in advocacy campaigns, educational initiatives, and community outreach programs to raise awareness about human rights issues and empower individuals to become agents of change in their communities. Join our advocacy campaigns, sign petitions, and raise your voice in support of human rights causes, amplifying marginalized voices and advocating for policy reforms and legislative changes.

Capacity Building and Training: We offer capacity-building workshops, training sessions, and skill development programs to equip human rights defenders, activists, and organizations with the tools and knowledge they need to effectively advocate for human rights and social justice.

Legal Aid and Support: We provide legal aid services, support networks, and resources to individuals and communities facing human rights violations, ensuring access to justice and redress for victims of discrimination, violence, and oppression.

Internship Programs: Gain valuable experience and practical insights into human rights advocacy, research, and policy work through our internship programs designed for students and young professionals.
