The Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) is an independent nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC. Founded in 2004, UHRP advocates for the rights of the Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim peoples in East Turkistan, also known as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China. Through research-based advocacy, UHRP publishes reports and analysis in English and Chinese, submits reports and policy recommendations to governments and multilateral bodies, and works to defend Uyghurs' civil, political, social, cultural, and economic rights according to international human rights standards.
UHRP's work has been widely recognized and featured in over 30 news outlets worldwide, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, BBC, CNN, and Al Jazeera. They have released numerous reports, briefings, statements, and press releases, guiding policymakers and raising awareness about the ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity being committed against the Uyghur population. UHRP strives to be a voice for Uyghurs, providing a platform for their stories to be heard internationally, supporting human rights defenders, and assisting survivors and refugees in finding safe haven.
