Hurt Foundation

HURT Foundation (Human Rights) is an independent, non-partisan, non-governmental organization committed to the practical realization of human rights. Founded in 1992 by a group of dedicated legal and social advocates, the Foundation was born out of a deep concern for human dignity, equality, and justice.

From its earliest days, HURT Foundation has focused on creating awareness and building capacity among students, professionals, public officials, and communities. Our work spans human rights education, vocational skill development, community rehabilitation, health initiatives, and advocacy — all aimed at empowering individuals to lead dignified, self-reliant lives.

A core pillar of our efforts is education. Through certificate courses, workshops, and training programs, we help people understand their rights and responsibilities while encouraging active citizenship. Alongside this, our field initiatives support institutionalized and marginalized children through skill development, healthcare access, and livelihood pathways, enabling real-world transformation beyond classrooms.

Over the years, HURT Foundation has also partnered with government institutions, corporate CSR programs, and civil society organizations to revive vocational training centers, conduct relief and health camps, and create sustainable opportunities for vulnerable youth.

Our strength lies in our people — a diverse collective of legal professionals, educators, activists, volunteers, and students who share a common commitment to service. Guided by integrity, respect, collaboration, and accountability, we strive to build a society where human rights are not just ideals, but lived realities.

At HURT Foundation, we believe lasting change begins with awareness and grows through action.

Together, we work towards a just, inclusive, and compassionate world.
