Human Rights Measurement Initiative

The Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI) is a non-profit organisation primarily housed in Wellington, New Zealand. It was established in 2016 by Anne-Marie Brook, K. Chad Clay, and Susan Randolph: experts in human rights and economics. These founders noticed a gap in easily accessible and understandable human rights data, and HRMI is working to fill that gap. They produce a free, easy-to-access database of metrics, summarizing human rights performance in countries around the world. They believe that with a good set of measures, it will be easier to improve human rights around the world.
