Human Rights Now (HRN) is an international human rights NGO based in Tokyo. It was established in July 2006 by a group of lawyers, former UN officials, scholars and other human rights defenders. HRN is dedicated to protecting and promoting the human rights of people worldwide, with a special focus on Asia.
HRN supports and calls female activists as ‘Activist-a’, who are engaged in activities to shed light on and overcome ongoing grave violations of women’s human rights in Asia. HRN invited Ms. Nandini Rao from JAGORI to give the keynote address at a symposium ‘Asian Activist-a 2009 Women Changing the World’ in Tokyo on 16th May 2009 and in Osaka on 17th May 2009.
