The Leadership Council for Human Rights (LCHR) seeks to encourage and promote information and action campaigns on the behalf of ethnic and religious minorities, women, and other populations living under threat. LCHR also conducts intensive NGO outreach in the U.S. to create cohesion and elevate the global human rights agenda. Our philosophy, “feet in the mud, head in the sky,” illustrates our commitment to working on the ground with real people and bringing the stories of their struggles to decision makers in Washington, D.C. and around the world. LCHR’s projects are as varied as the groups we seek to serve. Our current work is based in Afghanistan, Egypt, Iraq and Vietnam.
