The voices of issue experts and human rights defenders inform and shape the critical human rights issues of our time. We offer a range of views to inspire new ways of seeing, to encourage exchange, and provoke the action needed for lasting change.

New year, new us. Same mission.

Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights is rebranding to honor the legacy of our founder and hero, Mrs. Ethel Skakel Kennedy. From now on, we will proudly be known as the Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center

While our name is changing, our mission and work remain the same. We will continue to fight injustice, advance human rights, and hold governments accountable around the world in 2026 and beyond.
