Human Rights Organisations in Ghana

The Human Rights Advocacy Center (HRAC) and the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) are two independent Human Rights organisations which seek to monitor and provide rights for everybody. Both offices are based in the capital of Ghana, Accra, which is where I live. HRAC is dedicated to the promotion and protection of human rights. Through research and advocacy, HRAC  fights injustice, restores peace and builds the human rights movement around the world. This organisation deals with issues of reproductive rights like Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), issues of rape, child trafficking, assault and unlawful detention or eviction. CHRI essentially deals with the same issues as HRAC. CHRI also seeks to provide rights to all the citizens of Africa. Both organisations collaborate with different governments, inter-governmental organisations, academia, students and civil society. The underlying aim of these two bodies is to improve human rights all around.
