Sakharov Foundation

The Sakharov Foundation is an organization dedicated to promoting human rights, democracy, and the rule of law, inspired by the legacy of Soviet physicist and dissident Andrei Sakharov. Established in 1996, it aims to support individuals and groups fighting for freedom and justice, particularly in oppressive regimes. The foundation provides grants, awards, and advocacy to raise awareness of human rights issues and to help protect those who stand up against tyranny. It honors Sakharov's commitment to civil liberties and seeks to empower activists worldwide in their pursuit of change and accountability.
