Get Involved With the Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa, and Be Part of This Life-Saving Work. Formation:
The Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa (HRLHA) was re-launched, as an exiled version on
an agency known as Human Rights League (HRL), in 2007 in Toronto, Canada. HRL was originally
formed in Ethiopian in 1996; but silenced from almost from the outset by the TPLF/EPRDF
Government, and closed down in 1997.
HRLHA is committed to defending fundamental human rights and freedoms of the peoples in the
Horn of Africa in general and in Ethiopia in particular. These include socio-economic and political
rights, freedoms of thought, expression, and organization or assembly It supports and works with
human rights agencies and democratic organizations or groups and countries that are engaged in
fighting against discriminations of any kind or form, and upholds and promotes social, economic and
political freedoms, and the delivery of justice.
Challenges;
HRLHA’s biggest challenge has been financial resource, as it has not been able to secure any
fund from any donor organizations in those five years.
However, with almost all in all volunteer resources; except for the very small amount of money
collected from its members, it did not stop performing its job of monitoring, detecting, investigating and
reporting on human rights violations in Ethiopia and in the Horn. It has managed to execute most of its
plans of action and meet its objectives for the past five years through the extraordinary commitment of its
tireless and dedicated volunteer staff. This dedication elevated the status of our organization to the highest
level one can’t imagine. Today, HRLHA can represent the voiceless with confidence and speak loudly on
international stages about the hidden human rights abuses in Ethiopia and in other Horn of Africa
Countries.
In addition to what HRLHA has laid down as its long and short term plans in the Horn, the
Special Consultative Status that HRLHA has been awarded by UN comes with multiple direct and
indirect responsibilities that require us to double and triple our efforts in order to meet the expectations.
To this end, the financial help from human rights supporters is very crucial to ease from this financial
challenge. Therefore, your urgent action to strength HRLHA financially is extremely significant at this
point.
The following would be some of the good reasons why you should do so:
To raise awareness of ordinary citizens about their fundamental human
rights,
To speak on behalf of the voiceless who were subjected to injustices and
held behind bars because they attempted to exercise their fundamental
rights,
To assist victims of human rights abuse in the Horn of Africa and other
targeted peoples,
To support the HRLHA so that it could continue its activities as a rights’
defender,
To be part of and actively participate in the growing global and regional
human rights movements,
To become and remain an informed and active global citizen.
