Physicians for Human Rights is a nonprofit human rights organization. It was founded in 1986 by a small group of doctors who believed the unique scientific expertise and authority of health professionals could bring human rights violations to light and provide justice for victims. One of PHR's first missions was to testify on behalf of doctors and human rights activists in Chile, who were working against the military dictator Augusto Pinochet. Since then, PHR has conducted pioneering research and field investigations in more than 40 countries. PHR focuses on a set of core human rights violations: ⁕Atrocities against civilians during armed conflict ⁕Violence against women, especially rape as a weapon of war ⁕Torture and abuse of detainees ⁕Lack of access to health care due to racial, ethnic and gender discrimination PHR works to prove the health consequences of human rights violations. It also uses its research for advocacy focused on demanding accountability for crimes and recommending critical policy changes. Wikipedia [ - ]
