Introduction by the Secretary-General of the IHRC, Prof. h.c. Rafal Marcin Wasik Dear friends, ladies and gentlemen, The team of the International Human Rights Commission Foundation (IHRC), based in Switzerland, is pleased to present our 2023 annual report. This 2023 annual report essentially outlines our core activities, highlights the main areas of focus, and provides a general overview of our status at a particular moment in time. This is primarily due to the principles and methods of our work, as well as our long-term goals and aspirations. Everyone working within and in collaboration with the IHRC sets new goals, charts new paths, and establishes new, high standards. For them, we give our best, with full commitment, with our whole hearts, and with all our strength. Our identity is defined by the thousands of people we have already helped and supported. Millions more are still waiting for a heartbeat, a helping hand, a kind word. For them, the needy, every effort is worthwhile. From them, we receive the greatest reward: a smile, a calm gaze, and a friendly handshake. Through our daily actions, we effectively convince others that everyone has something to share with those in need and that no one is so wealthy that they can live without others. Regardless of gender, skin color, religion, wealth, sexual or political orientation, we are all one, no matter where we are in the world. The employees of the IHRC are the best proof of this. I would like to thank all of you once again for your support, cooperation, and above all, your commitment to the most important causes in the world—for my brothers and sisters and the local communities. I am honored that we have come together and can achieve so much together. There is no doubt that none of this would be possible without your involvement.

IHRC and NHRO Initiative on the Occasion of Gandhi Jayanti Rajgangpur, Odisha, India, 2nd October In celebration of Gandhi Jayanti, the International Human Rights Commission - IHRC, in collaboration with the National Human Rights Organisation - NHRO, organised an important event today at Shanti Ashram. The aim of this event was to uplift the spirits of the children residing at the ashram and to promote awareness of human rights. Historical Context Gandhi Jayanti, observed annually on 2nd October, commemorates the birth of Mahatma Gandhi, one of the most significant leaders of the independence movement in India. His philosophy of non-violence, known as "ahimsa," has had a profound impact on the global struggle for human rights. Gandhi believed that violence only begets more violence, and true strength lies in the ability to act peacefully and strive for justice. His teachings have inspired numerous social movements worldwide, including the civil rights movements in the United States and the fight for independence in Africa. By celebrating this day, IHRC and NHRO not only honour Gandhi’s legacy but also remind us of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality in society. Under the leadership of NHRO President Mohammad Naushad, the event featured an educational program aimed at informing the children of their rights and responsibilities. Ms. Pooja from the Welfare Department played a significant role in assisting the children throughout the day. Participants enjoyed meals and refreshments, while the morale of the children was further boosted by the distribution of essential school supplies, including notebooks, pencils, and pens. Looking ahead, the teams from IHRC and NHRO have expressed their commitment to organising further educational programs to continue supporting the children and the local community.
