The team

The Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI) is a unique collaborative venture between human rights practitioners, researchers, academics, and other supporters. Click here to see a collection of interviews and articles about HRMI team members.

Core HRMI team

The HRMI team includes some of the world’s most experienced experts in the field, including developers of some of the most widely used existing measures of civil and political rights, and the prize-winning authors of the best existing measures of economic, social and cultural rights.

HRMI Ambassadors

HRMI Ambassadors are our local partners – people who are part of the local human rights community, and whose values are aligned with ours. These people play an important role in connecting HRMI to the local human rights community and help us identify potential survey respondents in their country. HRMI Ambassadors for some countries wish to remain anonymous and are not listed here.

Situations vacant

We have Ambassador vacancies for the United States, the United Kingdom, Venezuela, Australia, Malaysia, Palau, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Wallis and Futuna, and Tokelau. Could you be a HRMI Ambassador for one of these countries? Please apply for this role by sending your CV to HRMI at admin@humanrightsmeasurement.org.
