Our Services

What Service We Offer

The Human Rights Research Documentation Centre (HURIC Uganda) is an indigenous, non-profit organization dedicated to advancing human rights, promoting legal and policy reforms, and strengthening community-based responses to human rights challenges. Established to address the persistent social injustices that often lead to rights violations, HURIC Uganda uses research, advocacy, and capacity building as key tools to drive change. By leveraging evidence-based approaches and fostering partnerships, the organisation works to ensure that laws, policies, and practices effectively protect and promote the rights and dignity of all people, with a particular focus on vulnerable communities in Uganda.

Some of Our Latest Projects.

Social Empowerment

HURIC Uganda’s empowerment initiatives focus on equipping vulnerable communities with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to claim their rights and improve their livelihoods. This includes training, mentorship, and capacity-building efforts that foster resilience, leadership, and active participation in shaping social and economic development.

Research and Development (R&D)

HURIC Uganda places research at the heart of its work, generating evidence to inform policy reforms, advocacy strategies, and community-driven solutions. Through participatory studies, documentation, and data analysis, the program identifies pressing human rights issues and provides knowledge that empowers stakeholders to act effectively and sustainably.

Health Rights

Recognising health as a fundamental human right, this program works to ensure equitable access to quality healthcare and address broader determinants of health. Through advocacy, community education, and policy engagement, HURIC amplifies voices often left unheard and pushes for inclusive, rights-based health systems.

Public Interest Litigation (PIL)

In 2019, HURIC Uganda integrated a Legal Aid Session into the Kakoma Health Camp to bridge the gap between healthcare and legal empowerment for marginalised communities. The session provided free legal consultations, educated over 300 participants on their health-related rights, and documented systemic injustices such as gender-based violence, land disputes, and labour violations.
