Why support the work of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee with your 1%?

We are the leading organisation in the fight for human rights and democracy in Hungary. If you are a foreigner living in Hungary, we work directly for you as well. Your contribution will help us continue to give legal assistance to the most vulnerable people and their families.

We provide 100% human rights protection.

In 2024…

  • Our Human Rights Advisory Office provided free legal assistance to a total of 1,221 people.
  • Our Refugee Programme provided free legal assistance to a total of 2,701 people. Among them, 2,117 were fleeing the war in Ukraine.
  • The Hungarian Helsinki Committee’s lawyers supported victims of state arbitrariness and courageous individuals who stood up against it – such as the teachers dismissed for acts of civil disobedience, Péter Bátonyi who spoke out against the monument destruction by the Ministry of Construction and Transport (ÉKM), other dismissed ministry employees, and the Telex journalists whose public interest reporting was arbitrarily obstructed by the police.
  • We won a total of 12 cases at the European Court of Human Rights concerning the unlawful and arbitrary detention of asylum seekers. Since then, we have won our 112th case in Strasbourg.

Over the course of our work, we have received 18 prestigious human rights awards and recognitions. Most recently, our efforts to support refugees were honored in Austria with the Paul Weis Award, followed by the Dutch Embassy’s Human Rights Tulip Award in 2024.
