About GITHR
Building Rights, Inspiring Dignity, and Growing Equity (BRIDGE)
At GITHR, we believe in a holistic approach to human rights. We recognize that the digital and physical worlds are deeply interconnected, and that human rights challenges manifest across these domains. Our work encompasses:
Digital Rights Protection
We address critical issues such as data protection, digital privacy, cyber harassment, and the freedom of expression in virtual spaces.
Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD)
We collaborate with governments, corporations, and organizations to implement ethical operations that align with human rights standards. This involves conducting risk assessments, implementing mitigation strategies, and ensuring ongoing monitoring, reporting and compliance
Empowering Communities
We believe in the power of community-led action. We work directly with vulnerable and marginalized groups, providing technical support and resources to address pressing issues such as poverty, health disparities, and access to quality education.
Promoting Socio-economic Justice
We advocate for and work towards ensuring access to essential services like healthcare, education, and economic opportunities for all.
Fostering Knowledge and Innovation
We conduct groundbreaking research on critical issues such as artificial intelligence and algorithmic bias, data sovereignty and privacy, and the development of digital rights frameworks tailored to diverse contexts. We also provide training and resources to build the capacity of individuals and organizations to advance human rights.

We actively engage in advocacy and policy influence to shape a world where human rights are central. We work closely with policymakers, businesses, and civil society to ensure that human rights are prioritized in policy conceptualization, formulation and implementation.
