2020 Annual Report

At the Human Rights Foundation (HRF), our work is inspired by the individuals who dedicate their lives, often at great personal risk, to challenging authoritarian governments that violate the most basic rights of 4.2 billion people around the world. What differentiates HRF from other human rights organizations is our singular focus on authoritarian regimes. We believe authoritarianism is the single largest obstacle to freedom around the world, and the statistics overwhelmingly support this position. According to HRF’s research, 54% of humanity currently lives under an authoritarian regime.
