USFLHR is committed to defending human rights, supporting political refugees, and advancing freedom, democracy, equality, and human dignity for the people of Iran. Founded by Iranian Americans and powered entirely by volunteers, we stand with victims of oppression, women resisting discrimination and violence, and those forced to flee.
Behind every part of our work are real people and real human stories — political prisoners, students, women, journalists, and families searching for justice.
The U.S. Foundation for Liberty and Human Rights is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt organization founded by Iranian Americans and powered entirely by volunteers — many of whom have personally experienced political persecution.
Our mission is to document and expose human rights violations, defend women’s rights, support political refugees, and advocate for the equal rights of religious minorities and Iran’s diverse ethnic groups. We believe an Iran must guarantee equal rights for all its citizens, regardless of religion, ethnicity, or background.
USFLHR has earned the Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency, reflecting our commitment to accountability, integrity, and responsible stewardship of donor support.
Our volunteer professionals provide humanitarian assistance, education, and advocacy — standing beside those who risked everything for freedom as they rebuild their lives in safety and dignity.
Raising awareness of human rights abuses in Iran and promoting democracy, justice, and accountability, at a time when the human rights situation in Iran has reached an alarming stage.
Helping Iranians who have fled persecution, imprisonment, torture, and political repression with emergency humanitarian assistance, medical care, and support to rebuild with dignity.
To amplify the voices of the Iranian people suffering under repression, Iranian volunteers organized a human rights photo exhibition at Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza in New York City.
Sponsoring seminars, symposiums, conferences, exhibitions, publications, and advertisements that educate the public about refugees and human rights abuses in Iran.
USFLHR is committed to ensuring that these voices are never forgotten.
Through conferences, seminars, symposiums, and educational events, USFLHR brings people together to learn about human rights and the threats facing them. Our exhibitions and publications give those stories a lasting voice.
Beyond the conference hall, we support refugees, advocate for those whose rights are denied, and work to strengthen freedom and democracy.
