A voice for those the law forgets.

Dabin Organization for Democratic Development and Human Rights is a non-governmental, civil, non-profit, and independent institution. We work to promote awareness of human rights, the rule of law, and the principles of democracy in line with international human rights standards.

Established in 2017 and registered in both the Kurdistan Region (№ 3429-L) and the Federal Government of Iraq (№ 1C2110013), we have spent nearly a decade defending labor rights, advancing women's participation in public life, and providing humanitarian assistance to displaced and vulnerable communities.

From courtrooms to camps, from parliaments to villages, our work has reached thousands across Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.
