Additional information on the organization
Journalists for Human Rights (JHR) works with the media in Africa and North America to expand and improve human rights coverage. This allows local media to reach millions of people in their own language who would otherwise have little access to information about their rights. Founded in 2002, JHR has quickly become Canada's largest international media development organization. Within Africa, JHR has worked in 15 countries, now assisting local media organizations to reach 20 million people a week with human rights information. In Canada, JHR has established 25 Chapters (or clubs) at post-secondary institutions across the country, actively engaging over 20% of Canada's journalism students in human rights reporting. JHR has offices in Toronto (Canada), Accra (Ghana), Freetown (Sierra Leone) and Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo).
