Who We Are

about bird

The Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (BIRD) is a non-profit organisation focusing on advocacy, education and awareness for the calls of democracy and human rights in Bahrain.

  BIRD works by engaging with victims of human rights abuse in Bahrain to provide them recourse to aid and justice. We also engage with key international actors and governments to advocate for policies that support human rights in Bahrain. BIRD works alongside NGO coalitions, international bodies, members of the British-Bahraini community, Bahraini activists, and the UK public to raise awareness of the human rights situation in Bahrain. Our mission is to promote human rights and effective accountability in Bahrain.
Education isn’t easy but important for every person. To keep my academic level on the highest level and to write my assignment without any effort, I use this awesome resource. Sometimes I haven’t enough time to write my assignment, and this platform is handy for me.

our staff

We do not publicly list our staff on the website. This is because BIRDBH’s staff have faced reprisals in the past for their human rights campaigning.
