UK: Back the UN Human Rights Office

The world needs stronger human rights protections. Call on the UK to step up support for the UN Human Rights Office.

What to know:

• OHCHR is on the ground in 90+ countries, monitoring abuses and helping protect people at risk.
• Without reliable funding, communities worldwide lose vital protection and advocacy.
• Ask the UK to increase support for OHCHR and stand with people everywhere whose rights are under threat.

The UN Human Rights Office is the world’s watchdog for human dignity. Its staff are often the first to arrive where freedoms are under attack: documenting abuses, supporting civil society, and holding governments to account.

But its work depends on voluntary contributions. Without stronger, long-term backing, OHCHR cannot meet the growing demand for protection as crises multiply worldwide.

The UK has a vital role to play. By increasing support, the government can help ensure that no community is left without the protection of international human rights mechanisms.

Send a message today: Tell the UK government to stand on the right side of history and give OHCHR the resources it needs to defend rights everywhere.
