Kurdish Human Rights Project (KHRP) is the only human rights non-governmental organisation working consistently in the Kurdish regions that is completely independent of political affiliation. Founded in London in 1992, we are a registered charity and our supporters include Kurds and non-Kurds.Our position in the international human rights arena is unique because of:

• Our strong links into local communities in the Kurdish regions, making us well placed to monitor, evaluate and comment upon policies

• The high levels of public trust and confidence we command mean that we are well placed to offer alternative ways of engaging with public policy debates and the process of democracy in the Kurdish regions

• The diversity of causes we represent in the Kurdish regions, enabling us to give voice to a far wider range of perspectives and experiences, including those of marginalised or minority groups or interests that might otherwise be ignored.
