Minority Rights Group is the leading human rights organization working with ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities, and indigenous peoples worldwide. Minority Rights Group is an international non-governmental organization with an international governing Council that meets twice a year. We have consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council and observer status with the African Commission for Human and Peoples’ Rights. Minority Rights Group is also registered with the Organization of American States. MRG has been implementing disability inclusion throughout our programmes since 2019 and works closely with organisations of people with disabilities within minority and Indigenous communities worldwide. We work across the human rights mechanisms to highlight intersectional discrimination experienced within these communities and advocate together for change at the local, national and international levels.
