Mission

MEHR is a Human Rights group working for a democratic society and a justice system for protecting universal human rights in world affairs. We believe that human rights cannot be addressed and resolved in isolation. The human rights of the world's people, regardless of ethnicity, gender, race, and religion, are interwoven. Our primary mission is to stop and not only expose human rights violations. Due to the resource limitation, we are more focused on Iran's human rights violations.

 MEHR is a network of individuals committed to strengthening advocacy on the human rights situation in the entire world and Iran. MEHR tries to develop greater capacity among Iranian in the future use of International mechanisms such as the Convention against Torture and International Criminal Court that provide Iranian victims avenues of and access to different systems of justice. Discrimination of women is one of our primary concerns. MEHR is committed to raising public awareness, exposing human rights crimes, and educating the people to have a united voice against human rights violations.
