Our Mission

Through collaborative educational initiatives, we are dedicated to raising awareness and increasing advocacy for human rights atrocities on a local, national, and international scare. 

Our goal is to fulfill the critical need for foundational human rights education by providing the resources necessary to help health sciences students and physicians provide trauma-informed, culturally-sensitive care. We strive for a future in which all people are treated with respect and dignity, and we invite you to join us on this journey.
