Journalists for Human Rights (JHR) is an international media development charity and non-governmental organization based in Toronto, Canada. JHR's mission is to "empower journalists to cover human rights stories objectively and effectively". The organizations' vision is for everybody in the world to be aware of their rights. Canada's largest media development organization, JHR believes that, "Creating rights awareness is the first and most necessary step to ending rights abuses. By mobilizing the media to spread human rights awareness, JHR informs people about human rights, empowering marginalized communities to stand up, speak out and protect themselves".〔"(Journalists for Human Rights )," accessed February 3, 2009〕 JHR has worked in 21 countries and trained over 12,000 journalists whose human rights stories have reached over 50 million people. JHR employs a "reciprocal change" approach, a process that involves local media partnerships and development outcomes determined through participatory consultation with Editors and Owners, Working Journalists, Students, and Civil Society within a region.〔http://www.jhr.ca/en/int_reciprocal.php〕 JHR currently has programs in Ghana, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Northern Ontario.
