Physicians for Human Rights

Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) is an independent, not-for-profit organization that mobilizes the specialized skills, rigor, and passion of health professionals and scientists to investigate and stop egregious violations of human rights. PHR focuses on mass atrocities and severe human rights violations against individuals.

Many GW faculty in the health professions support the work of PHR and asylum seekers in the DC area. For example,  working with Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) Asylum Network, to provide forensic medical examinations and legal affidavits for survivors of torture and ill-treatment in the DC area who are seeking asylum.  Service with the PHR Asylum Network aligns the expertise of law, health, and social scientists to significantly increase the likelihood of successful asylum applications.
