"We are by no means powerless against the ongoing conflicts and human rights violations, child labor, violence against women, human trafficking, etc. in the world. If many people take an interest and speak out for improvement, the situation will change dramatically. That is why Human Rights Now goes to the sites of human rights violations, speaks out on behalf of the victims, acts as a bridge to the United Nations, the international community, and the media, and calls on leaders of countries and companies around the world to demonstrate leadership in protecting human rights. The more people who take an interest in our activities, speak out, and support us, the greater our influence will be, which will lead to our power to change the world. We ask for your warm support for Human Rights Now to eliminate human rights violations around the world."
— Kazuko Ito, Human Rights Now Vice President
