Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (FORUM-ASIA)

FORUM-ASIA is committed to building a peaceful, just, equitable and ecologically sustainable community of peoples and societies in Asia, where all human rights of all individuals, groups and peoples – in particular, the poor, marginalised and discriminated – are fully respected and realised in accordance with internationally accepted human rights norms and standards. It does so by: building the capacity of its members and partners; bringing together activists and stakeholders to tackle human rights issues; protecting human rights defenders in Asia that find themselves in emergency situations; and advocating for human rights at the national, regional and international level.
