Silicon Valley
Human Rights Watch is one of the world’s leading independent organizations dedicated to defending the dignity and human rights of people around the world. The Silicon Valley Executive Committee and Silicon Valley Committee are part of the Human Rights Watch Council, a global network of individuals and committees across 19 cities internationally. Council members are ambassadors for Human Rights Watch in their communities, providing us with a strong presence in key cities and countries.
The Silicon Valley Committee was launched in 2016 and is composed of a network of local advocates dedicated to advancing human rights both in the Bay Area and around the world.
The Silicon Valley Committee has three primary responsibilities:
Raise funds to support the work of HRW and its researchers.
Educate, inspire, and engage members of the local community in the pursuit of human rights.
Mobilize the talent and resources of HRW membership to advocate for a more just world.
Through these efforts, the Silicon Valley Committee strengthens Human Rights Watch’s impact locally while helping to drive meaningful change worldwide.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Human Rights Watch is strong because it is diverse. Our Silicon Valley community is committed to growing and sustaining our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work.
