Our mission is ‘Protecting Human Rights, Defending Freedoms’.
We believe that it is not enough to raise awareness about human rights abuses. We all have a moral and legal obligation to do more to ensure dignity and equality for all.
We commit to an unwavering duty and responsibility to act by using the law and all legal means to bring to account any abuse or threatened abuse of human rights without discrimination of any kind.
We galvanize our legal expertise and networks to challenge human rights violations, demand legal accountability, and advocate for progressive policy and practice change.
In the long term, we work to contribute to the vision of ‘A just and equal society where freedoms and diversity are protected’.
We champion a future in which all citizens can enjoy civil liberties and human rights without prejudice, as guaranteed by the Constitution of Uganda and international human rights instruments to which Uganda is a signatory.
Upholding the highest ethical standards in all actions and decisions, ensuring transparency, accountability, and consistency.
Promoting fairness, equal treatment, and the rule of law for all, especially marginalized and vulnerable communities.
Standing firm in the face of adversity to defend human rights and civil liberties without fear or compromise.
Embracing diversity and ensuring that all voices — regardless of gender, identity, belief, or status — are heard and respected.
Equipping individuals and communities with knowledge, tools, and support to claim and defend their rights.
Working collaboratively with partners, communities, and allies to foster a united front in the struggle for justice and human dignity.
