We had to reach out right away with big news, Andy: To make sure we’re able to raise every dollar of our $250,000 year-end goal, we’re able to extend our 3X match – but only until midnight tomorrow.

Please, don’t wait: Rush your gift now to have it TRIPLED toward our work to document human rights abuses, protect people at risk and press governments to act.

If you haven’t been able to make a donation yet, this is still a crucial time to support our mission – especially as we look ahead to a new year that is already shaping up to be critical in the work to protect human rights.

In the United States, the administration’s ongoing campaign of immigration raids and detentions to advance a policy of mass deportation is ripping families apart and instilling fear in entire communities.
In Gaza, despite a ceasefire, the Israeli military continues to destroy much of the remaining civilian infrastructure and carry out attacks that are killing Palestinian civilians.
In Nigeria, a renewed wave of school kidnappings continue to target students and teachers.

MATCH MY GIFT 3X

Human Rights Watch has a vital role to play in this moment, but our work to document and investigate human rights abuses, expose the truth and hold perpetrators accountable is only possible with your support, Andy.

Please, take advantage of this 3X match before it expires tomorrow at midnight. Help us start 2026 ready to meet the challenges ahead.

DEFEND RIGHTS. SECURE JUSTICE.

Human Rights Watch investigates and reports on abuses happening all around the world. We are roughly 550-plus people of 70-plus nationalities who are country experts, lawyers, journalists and others who work to protect the most at risk groups and civilians in wartime, to refugees and children in need. We direct our advocacy toward governments, armed groups and businesses, pushing them to change or enforce their laws, policies and practices. To ensure our independence, we refuse government funding and carefully review all donations to ensure that they are consistent with our policies, mission and values. We partner with organizations large and small across the globe to protect embattled activists and to help hold abusers to account and bring justice to victims.

Our work is organized around three pillars:

Investigate: Our researchers work in the field in 100+ countries, uncovering facts that create an undeniable record of human rights abuses.

Expose: We tell the stories of what we found, sharing them with millions of social media and online followers each day. News media often report on our investigations, furthering our reach.

Change: We meet with governments, the United Nations, rebel groups, corporations and others to see that policy is changed, laws are enforced and justice is served.

Your support will power our work to investigate human rights abuses, expose the truth and hold perpetrators accountable in 100+ countries.
