Minority Rights Group International

Working to secure the rights of minorities and indigenous peoples

Our latest toolkit offers guidance for drafting and advocating for anti-discrimination legislation in Iran with a view to tackling longstanding structural discrimination and building a peaceful and safe future for all, including the country’s minorities.

Who we are

Minority Rights Group International (MRG) campaigns worldwide with around 150 partners in over 50 countries to ensure that disadvantaged minorities and indigenous peoples, often the poorest of the poor, can make their voices heard.

Through our action, we support minorities and indigenous peoples as they strive to defend their rights.
