Human rights of whatever categorization are of everybody’s concern. This is because they protect the essentials of human existence, and when violated, affect all facets of human life. They concern essential values of dignity and freedom – work, health, education, food, housing, communication, social security, and development. For the larger part of human existence, the struggle for the assertion of rights has not come easy, yet these concerns have only recently gained increased understanding, importance and acceptability within and amongst policy makers, and practitioners.

It is against this backdrop that HURINET has taken the challenge, and renewed its interest in translating rhetoric’s to action against the remaining vestiges of infringements and violations of human rights in Nigeria. The emerging new world order creates new opportunities, yet at the same time widens the gulf between rich and poor and threatens the obliteration of the world’s vulnerables. HURINET exist to connect concrete local struggles and advocacy for social justice with international human rights standards and mechanisms for the pursuit of human dignity. All these are to be achieved by managing information, and other activities as stipulated underneath in the thematic areas of the organization.

HURINET’s work is based on thematic areas; this is to facilitate corporation and collaboration between and amongst members. These areas are:
· Adjudication/Representation
· Human Rights and Environment
· Youths and Human Rights
· Human Rights and Conflict resolution/Arbitration
· Human Rights Education
· Women and Gender Rights
· Child Rights
· Social, Economic and Political Rights
· ICTs and Right to information, Communication and Development
