Human Rights Watch is dedicated to protecting the human rights of people around the world.
In recent years we have increasingly addressed economic, social and cultural human rights. We focus particularly on situations in which our methodology of investigation and reporting is most effective, such as when arbitrary or discriminatory governmental conduct lies behind an economic, social and cultural rights violation. Recent Human Rights Watch reports address, at least in part, economic, social and cultural rights, including the rights to health care, education, and fair conditions of labor.
