Executive Director’s Welcome

Welcome to the FSU Center for the Advancement of Human Rights!

For over 20 years, CAHR has led FSU’s human rights efforts with teaching, advocacy, and public policy work. It has done nationally recognized pro bono work on behalf of asylum-seekers, torture survivors, and victims of human trafficking. The Center has enabled a generation of FSU students to study human rights and to engage in field placements around the world.

CAHR is pleased to launch the new FSU interdisciplinary major in Human Rights & Social Justice in collaboration with the FSU Department of Religion. Study human rights with us and prepare for 21st century careers as difference-makers in our world.

Join us in the ongoing human rights revolution!
