The Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI) is a global social enterprise aiming to track the human rights performance of countries across a comprehensive suite of measures. Why? Because the world doesn’t currently have a simple, transparent way to monitor how people are treated. This as a problem, because when something is not measured, it is easily overlooked and undervalued. We are producing a free easy-to-access database of metrics, summarising human rights performance in countries around the world. We aim to be comprehensive by producing metrics that cover the full range of rights embodied in international law, particularly the collection of international treaties known as the International Bill of Human Rights. We are doing this collaboratively, by bringing together the expertise of human rights practitioners around the world, and academics specialising in human rights measurement.
