About this organization
Mission
Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights was established by Robert F. Kennedy's friends and family in 1968 to carry on his vision of a more just and peaceful world. As a global organization with a unique connection to one of the 20th century's most inspiring leaders, we seek to create change by partnering with the women and men on the front lines of the struggle for human rights and social justice, from the courtroom, to the classroom, to the boardroom. By standing with the bravest people on Earth, we strive to fulfill Robert F. Kennedy's pledge that 'those with the courage to enter the moral conflict will find themselves with companions in every corner of the world.'
About
Partners for Human Rights (PHR): The Robert F. Kennedy Partners for Human Rights (RFK PHR) is the organization's advocacy and litigation arm. RFK PHR leverages professional human rights staff, the organization board, Kennedy family, and their networks to advocate for the change the organization's partner activists seek. These include changing policies and actions of governments, intergovernmental organizations, international financial institutions (IFIs), UN entities, and corporations. RFK PHR uses cutting edge methods and innovative tools including litigation, advocacy, education, data collection, and documenting and reporting abuses, and launching awareness and education campaigns aimed at fostering corporate responsibility to achieve social justice goals. The unique partnership model represents an effective, sustainable method for supporting human rights. Our program works both domestically and abroad. Our domestic work aims at using public policy change, advocacy, and innovative techniques to put lasting legal change in place for complex societal issues. Our domestic work has been aimed at reducing the population of individuals incarcerated pre-trial. Through campaigns, advocacy and strategic litigation we help decrease the systemic reliance on money bail and positively impact the criminalization of poverty in the United States. Our juvenile justice collaborative work has been absorbed into the domestic PHR portfolio.
