NGO «HUMAN RIGHTS LABORATORY»

Improving social norms: quality services, innovation and mutual support

Mission

Our mission is to ensure public control over the observance of human rights. This means that we do not allow violations to remain unnoticed and problems to remain unresolved.

Ukraine has adopted a course towards European values, and therefore, caring for people in closed institutions should become a priority. We strive for living conditions in residential institutions to meet international standards, for staff to be properly trained, and for the state to be responsible.

We work not only with institutions, but also with society. Because change begins with understanding. And each of us can be a part of these changes.

About us

We are a team of human rights defenders, experts and volunteers who strive to make Ukraine a space where everyone feels worthy, regardless of their status or life circumstances.

We work where people are most vulnerable – in inpatient social protection institutions and psychiatric institutions. We analyze the situation, identify violations, prepare recommendations and conduct trainings for specialists who work with people who need special attention.

We cooperate with international and national partners, because human rights are not just a declaration, but a real tool for change.
