Human Rights Watch

     My NGO is Human Rights Watch which started in 1978, with the creation of Helsinki Watch. The Helsinki Watch was designed to support the citizens in the communist states aligned with the Soviet Union. Back to the Human Rights Watch it became more effective in the 1990's which its main aims were to strengthen the rights of women, refugees, children, migrant workers. Which brings a human rights issue such as child soldiers, rape as a war crime, domestic violence, and trafficking. It has been shown in two big spots and those two are, in 1997 in was shared in the Nobel Peace Prize as founding member of the international campaign to ban landmines. Also, as we all know about 9/11, they checked and said they needed new forms of pressure on the terrorist's groups and their supporters on very close monitoring counterterrorism laws. Since all of this they have been expanding the things, they check on which is economic, social, and cultural rights. Those three are mainly for education and housing problems. But as of now they are trying to find new technologies that keep Human Rights Watch on the cutting edge of promoting respect for human rights worldwide.
