Centro de Derechos Humanos Fray Bartolomé de las Casas

Centro de Derechos Humanos Fray Bartolomé de las Casas is a human rights organization based in Mexico that advocates for the protection and promotion of the rights of vulnerable and marginalized communities, particularly indigenous peoples. Named after a 16th-century missionary who defended indigenous rights, the center works to document abuses, promote justice, and support communities facing discrimination, violence, or exploitation. It aims to hold governments and entities accountable, fostering social justice and respect for human dignity through legal advocacy, research, and community engagement.
