Pledge to make a difference, together.
jhr was co-founded in 2002 by Ben Peterson and has become Canada’s largest international media development organization. jhr’s unique approach to training local African journalists to voice important human rights issues is changing the way local media is reporting on human rights, and as a result, changing the lives of people in need. Working in post-conflict countries where human rights are most at risk - including the Congo (DRC), Sierra Leone and Liberia - jhr reaches 20 million people regularly with human rights information.
In Canada, jhr has established 25 Chapters (and counting) at universities and high schools across the country, with the goal of promoting human rights awareness at the campus and community level. From producing media, to organizing events, to fundraising, jhr Chapter Members are working towards making everyone around the world aware of their rights.
