Human Rights Volunteer Programs

Facing the injustices of the world in an honest way is not an easy or heart-warming task to say the least; it is extremely difficult to stare injustice in the face and take on the task of effectively overcoming impediments which stand in the way of equality. However, it is a task that is required for the world, nations, and communities to progress, therefore volunteering abroad for human rights projects is a very popular international volunteer placement. Volunteers who are ready to accept the challenge and engage with local communities to uphold the rights of all or promote the rights of a specific group, will truly make a difference through human rights volunteering.

Volunteering with Pro Passion Projects

by: Chidalu Memeh - United KingdomProgram: Adventure and Impact: Volunteer in Ghana
10

Volunteering with Pro Passion Projects was an amazing and eye-opening experience. My days consisted of visiting the Legal Aid Commission in Accra. I would uber there and back to my accommodation very safely, and I was tasked to talk to a number of individuals seeking legal assistance- for example real estate and child maintenance. This heavily improved my communication skills. I would also help the office to file documents into their respective folders. The family that I was staying with were extremely lovely, providing me with a delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner, and some entertainment from the young sons. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking to volunteer abroad.

A Guide to Human Rights Volunteering Abroad

Why Volunteer in Human Rights

The world has come a long way in establishing certain rights for all human beings, so that every individual can be treated with a certain level of fundamental dignity. But there remains much work to be done in the field of human rights in many nations. By volunteering abroad for human rights, volunteers will have the rare chance to make a tangible, positive, and lasting impact on foreign communities. Actions speak louder than words, quite literally in the case of human rights movements, so stand up and take action in whatever area interests you!
