The HRF has been created by an initiative group of young people in 2000, as a national non-governmental organization (NGO), was legalized in 2002. The HRF has partners in merely all regions of Ukraine. In more than 10 Ukrainian regions, we have permanent regional representatives: Kirovograd, Vinnitsa, Hmelnitskiy, Zhitomir, Chernovtsi, Poltava, Chernigov, Cherkassy, Kiev, Lviv. Since 2001 the HRF’s leaders had implemented over 200 Human rights protection projects/regional initiatives and aid campaigns. More than 100,000 people all over Ukraine were involved in the awareness raising activities and human right education. The Human Rights Foundation is focusing its efforts on human rights advocacy for vulnerable youth, disabled people, local public authorities and general human rights monitoring in order to keep the eye open towards rough violations of human rights in Ukraine.
