Welcome to the Human Rights Initiative
Mission
Human Rights Initiative (HRI) is an organization of UCF medical students and faculty members committed to developing a human rights-based approach to medicine. We see human rights as a continuously evolving set of shared principles describing and protecting our fundamental humanity in a rapidly globalizing world. The Initiative advocates for using medicine to identify, document, and alleviate human rights abuses. Given the complex nature of human rights advocacy, the initiative examines the connections between medicine, economics, law, sociology, and humanitarianism. We raise awareness of and challenge the current dialogue around human rights through events and initiatives.
