Building on our practice of using traditional human rights monitoring methods to address cutting-edge human rights issues, The Advocates undertakes select human rights monitoring projects of significance to local and international communities.
With the help of hundreds of volunteers, The Advocates has monitored human rights conditions and produced more than 75 reports documenting human rights practices in more than 25 countries. The Advocates uses traditional human rights monitoring methods to document human rights abuses, but has made a practice of adapting the methodology to address cutting-edge human rights issues - both in our home community of Minnesota and internationally.
