Foundation for Human Rights and Democracy (FOHRD)
The Foundation for Human Rights and Democracy (FOHRD) is a pro-democracy and human rights organization, which seeks to spread democratic values and principles as well as promote the protection and respect for Social and Economic Rights. As a research, training and advocacy NGO, FOHRD promotes economic and social justice and combats impunity as well as poverty and all its principal dimensions while at the same time striving to build result-driven linkages between human rights and other areas such as HIV/AIDs, peace-building, governance and development issues. It is the vision of the Foundation for Human Rights and Democracy (FOHRD) to see a society where there are indiscriminate improved living standards, respect for the dignity of the individual person based on internationally accepted human rights standards. As an impartial, independent and non-partisan organization, FOHRD was organized by a group of human rights and pro-democracy activists (in and outside Liberia) with long years of work in Liberia. History and circumstances in Liberia have shown that nearly every mention of human rights has to do with civil liberties and freedoms. Other rights, such as economic and social rights have not been the focus of much attention. However, the varying degrees of social and economic discrepancies and inequalities which most often lead to the abuse and violation of civil liberties and freedoms lead to the realization that the less talked about rights (social and economic rights) are becoming increasingly unavoidable. An understanding of how social injustice, economic exploitation - corruption and poverty - led to the civil wars (as the Liberian civil war) and the curtailing of civil liberties and freedom; and how the civil war and the curtailing of civil liberties and freedoms have been manipulated to perpetuate poverty, economic exploitation - corruption and poverty in Liberia will give an appreciation of the urgent need to prioritize the struggle in combating the abuses of social and economic rights. This effort requires the intervention of an organization with people who have worked in Liberia and know about Liberia and understand Liberia's problems. It is against this background that the Foundation for Human Rights and Democracy (FOHRD) has volunteered to intervene.
