The Taiwan Association for Human Rights (TAHR) is a non-governmental organization committed to securing and protecting human rights from all forms of violation. TAHR believes that human rights, rule of law, and democracy are indivisible and interdependent. Without human rights, rule of law can easily degrade into rule by law, and democracy into a winner-take-all struggle.

TAHR’s campaigns, which aim to encourage grassroots support and advocacy, have focused on investigating individual human rights cases and assisting victims, monitoring the government’s policy-making and development, proposing legal and constitutional amendments so as to meet international human rights standards, and promoting human rights consciousness and education. In addition, TAHR actively participates in the international human rights community, strengthening its interaction and cooperative relationships with international NGOs.
