Who We Are

Rooted in Humanity,
Driven by Justice

Founded in Luxembourg, Feel Humanity bridges the gap between human rights violations and international accountability — through rigorous documentation and compassionate advocacy.

Feel Humanity is a non-governmental organization based in Luxembourg, founded with the mission of defending, promoting, and advancing human rights in Turkey and beyond.

We emerged in response to the persistent and systemic human rights violations in Turkey, including restrictions on freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, the rule of law, and the protection of fundamental civil and political rights. Our primary focus is to document, raise awareness of, and advocate against these violations, ensuring that they remain visible on international platforms and are not met with silence or indifference.

Through advocacy, research, awareness-raising, and international cooperation, Feel Humanity seeks to build bridges between local struggles and global human rights mechanisms. We actively engage in international initiatives and collaborate with civil society actors to contribute to broader efforts aimed at protecting human dignity wherever it is under threat.
