Human Rights
Human rights are rights that belong to every person. Supporting human rights charities, nonprofits, and social enterprises mean that these organizations can continue their invaluable work within the human rights space.
Anti-discrimination is opposed to the unjust and prejudicial treatment of people. Discriminating against someone can take many different forms. Charities, nonprofits and social enterprises work tirelessly to ensure that anti-discrimination laws are drafted, implemented and upheld to protect people from unfair and discriminatory treatment.
Supporting a charity, nonprofit or social enterprise that works to uphold Indigenous peoples' rights allows them to fund initiatives to ensure all Indigenous peoples have the right to be free from discrimination.

- Why should I donate to support human rights causes?
There are many reasons to support human rights causes through donation. One reason is to promote awareness and education about human rights issues globally. Another reason is to support the efforts of those working on the front lines to protect and defend human rights. Additionally,, donating to human rights causes allows you to be part of the solution in creating a more just and equitable world for all.
- Does the Government fund human rights initiatives?
Yes, some human rights initiatives are funded by the Government, but with the broad and complex scope of work covered, there is always the need for more funds to support and advocate for more people. Adversely, there is also a need for some Governments to be held accountable for human rights violations, so external funding is required for accountability and transparency.
- Some human rights issues seem so big; how can my donation make a difference?
It is a big problem, but we have to start somewhere to address human rights violations. Your donation will assist in financially funding advocates, legal representatives, and those working on the ground to impact people’s lives directly.
- How can I be sure my donation is getting directly to those affected by human rights violations?
This is an essential question for any charity, nonprofit or social enterprise you are looking to support. Check their financial reports, and look at their ratings or feedback on trusted assessment or evaluator websites such as Charity Navigator or ACNC (Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission); these organizations will differ depending on your location.
Suppose a charity or nonprofit does not disclose its financial reports or a breakdown of its expenses. In that case, this may act as a red flag for you and mean that further investigation is required, or you may decide to look at other organizations that are being transparent about their financial information.
- How else can I support charities and nonprofits that focus on human rights, aside from donations?
There are many other ways to support charities and nonprofits that focus on human rights, aside from donations. You can volunteer your time, skills, and resources to help further their cause. You can also spread awareness about the work that they do and advocate for the issues that they care about. And of course, you can always donate money to help them continue their important work.
