**OUR PROFILE**
We are a community group of purpose, goals, and action. We work to expose human rights violations and seek to analyze when, where, how and why they continue to happen. We approach our human rights advocacy in a targeted and scientific way so we can speak truth to power. We concentrate on human rights issues related to medical situations and health and investigate the governmental policies which need to be challenged and potentially changed to protect human rights. We provide information on a wide range of topics to enhance protection of human rights for all people. We seek to combat modern slavery, which is the economic exploitation of individuals through the use of violence and coercion, and human trafficking, which is the modern-day slave trade even within the borders of the U.S.A. We collaborate and coordinate reports to the United Nations and other agencies in order to defend human rights. Come join us and explore how you can take part!

The ultimate aim of this mechanism is to improve the human rights situation in all countries and address human rights violations wherever they occur.
