Human Rights

All human beings are born free and equal in rights and dignity—regardless of where they come from, where they live, how they look, whom they love, what language they speak, what gender they are, what religious or political beliefs they hold, and regardless of their social or economic status or any differences they may have. The Heinrich Böll Foundation is committed to ensuring that all individuals know their rights, can assert them, and defend them.
