what we do
We monitor human rights issues
CCHR provides human rights education and awareness through public campaigns, policy recommendations and legal advocacy.
Justice, Dignity & Integrity
Founded in 2006, the Caribbean Centre for Human Rights (CCHR) is a nonprofit, non-governmental organisation based in Trinidad and Tobago. Under the leadership of pioneers like Diana Mahabir- Wyatt, Dr. Carolyn Gomes, and Dr. Timothy Affonso, we work to ensure human rights are protected and upheld across the Caribbean.

injustice.
