Human Rights Now works for promotion and protection of human rights for the people in the world, with special focus in Asia.

Our mission is to take action to: 1) Contribute to the promotion and protection of human rights worldwide, with a special focus on Asian countries; 2) Contribute to the development of international human rights standards and norms through the UN and other international institutions; and 3) Promote the incorporation of international human rights standards within the domestic framework in Japan.

In particular, we seek to make a concerted effort to improve the human rights situation in the Asian region, where many people are suffering from serious human rights abuses. By highlighting the situation and enabling victims of abuse to have their voices heard, we spare all effort to make a positive difference. In working to achieve these goals, we would be very ha ppy to cooperate closely with international and grassroots NGOs around the world.
