Alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

PIHRO’s mission is deeply aligned with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, advancing progress across multiple goals through an integrated, rights-based approach. The organization promotes inclusive, equitable, and quality education (SDG 4) with a special focus on marginalized and underserved communities, while empowering youth to take on leadership roles, engage in civic participation, and contribute to peace building and nation-building efforts (SDG 16 Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). PIHRO’s commitment to women’s rights and gender equality (SDG 5) addresses systemic discrimination, enhances women’s economic participation, and strengthens their leadership in governance and community development. The organization also prioritizes child protection, ensuring the rights, safety, and well-being of children while advocating for their access to education and opportunities for growth. In addition, PIHRO advances public health (SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being) by combating communicable diseases, promoting health awareness, and improving access to essential healthcare services.

Through targeted poverty alleviation programs (SDG 1 No Poverty) and decent work initiatives (SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth), PIHRO fosters sustainable livelihoods, strengthens community resilience, and supports inclusive economic growth. Its climate resilience and environmental protection work (SDG 13 Climate Action and SDG 15 Life on Land) focus on reforestation, sustainable resource use, and disaster preparedness, contributing to environmental sustainability and community safety.

The organization also plays a vital role in humanitarian response and reducing inequalities (SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities), delivering life-saving assistance, legal protection, and recovery support to refugees, displaced persons, and disaster-affected populations. By integrating these thematic areas, PIHRO ensures its interventions are proactive building legal, institutional, and social foundations for an equitable society and responsive, addressing urgent humanitarian and development challenges. In doing so, PIHRO contributes to a future where dignity, equality, justice, and human rights are realized for everyone, everywhere, every day.

Aims & Objectives

The Pakistan International Human Rights Organization (PIHRO) is committed to a comprehensive and multidimensional mandate that integrates human rights protection, sustainable development, and humanitarian action. Our aims and objectives are aligned with both Pakistan’s constitutional guarantees and its international commitments under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), various UN human rights conventions, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

PIHRO actively cooperates, coordinates, and partners with national and international organizations, associations, groups, and individuals engaged in promoting:

  • Peace and conflict prevention
  • Human rights protection and promotion
  • Education and literacy development
  • Reproductive health and gender equality
  • Environmental conservation and climate resilience
  • Poverty alleviation and reduction
  • Disaster relief, rehabilitation, and community resilience
  • Gender balance and women’s empowerment

We take proactive measures to prevent human rights abuses and provide immediate aid and assistance, including free legal aid, to victims of violations. PIHRO supports individuals and groups striving to protect their rights and operates Human Rights Protection Houses — safe spaces offering legal assistance and protection from political, religious, racial, and social persecution.

Recognizing that human dignity begins with basic necessities, PIHRO undertakes targeted interventions to provide:

  • Clean and safe drinking water
  • Medical relief and mobile health services
  • Dowry and marriage assistance for underprivileged girls

  • Model villages equipped with essential services for remote and underserved communities

We design and implement digital healthcare solutions to deliver affordable, quality, and accessible medical care to underserved regions. Specialized digital livelihood programs for young men and women in deprived areas create opportunities for income generation through telemedicine, health technology, and digital entrepreneurship.

PIHRO works to achieve universal literacy, particularly in rural and disadvantaged areas, by:

  • Offering rehabilitation support to those affected by addiction

We combat environmental degradation through:

  • Tree plantation drives and reforestation projects
  • Community awareness campaigns on pollution prevention
  • Encouraging sustainable natural resource management
  • Supporting climate adaptation projects for vulnerable communities

PIHRO works to:

  • Advocate for Pakistan’s ratification and implementation of the UDHR and related international human rights conventions and protocols
  • Monitor, document, and investigate both reported and unreported cases of human rights violations
  • Recommend remedial actions to the relevant authorities and pursue accountability through policy and legal channels

We aim to:

  • Establish Human Rights Protection Houses across Pakistan for direct legal support and counseling
