Our Story

Champions of human rights since 1997

HURON Founding Members

From Vision to Reality

Established in 1997, Human Rights Organization of Nepal (HURON) emerged as a response to the growing need for human rights advocacy during Nepal's transition period.

We unite legal professionals, activists, and citizens to protect fundamental rights, promote justice, and build a society where every person's dignity is respected.
