Network of Chinese Human Rights Defenders

The Network of Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) is a coalition of organizations and individuals dedicated to promoting and protecting human rights in China. Established in the early 2000s, it focuses on issues like freedom of expression, assembly, and association. The network advocates for those whose rights have been violated, raises awareness through reports and campaigns, and supports grassroots activists and organizations. Despite facing significant government repression, CHRD works to highlight human rights abuses and push for accountability, utilizing both domestic and international platforms to amplify the voices of those challenging injustices in China.
