Human Right Pathfinders Association of Nigeria (HURPA Nigeria)
is a non-governmental, non-profit, and non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting, protecting,
and defending the fundamental human rights of all people in Nigeria and beyond.
We are driven by the belief that every human being deserves to live in dignity, freedom, and equality —
without fear, oppression, or discrimination. Since our founding, HURPA has been committed to advancing
justice, challenging human rights abuses, and empowering communities to speak up and claim their rights.
We work with individuals, civil society groups, and government institutions to ensure accountability,
transparency, and respect for human dignity. At the heart of our work lies a deep conviction that
human rights are universal — defending one person’s rights helps protect the rights of all.
