Global Human Rights Defence (GHRD)^[1] is an international Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) based in The Hague, Netherlands. GHRD focuses specifically on promoting and protecting human rights worldwide. GHRD places emphasis on those areas and populations of the world where severe and extensive human rights violations of ethnic, linguistic and religious minorities have continued unabated over long periods of time, and where structural help and global attention of Governments and international institutions have failed to reach.

GHRD conducts its work via three pillars:

• Human rights reporting: done by local observers
• Humanitarian aid: aimed at victims of human rights violations
• Human rights education: in South Asia, Netherlands and Europe
