EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The European Centre for Democracy and Human Rights (ECDHR) is a non-profit organisation founded in January 2015, operating from Brussels and registered in Dublin. It is dedicated to monitoring, researching and publicising human-rights developments across the Gulf and wider MENA region, with a particular focus on digital freedoms, surveillance, and the rights of women, children and minorities.

ECDHR produces timely statements, reports and analyses that highlight issues such as smart-city surveillance, enforced disappearances, child executions and digital violence against women. Through its publications and social-media outreach, the centre seeks to inform policymakers, civil-society actors and the wider public, fostering accountability and encouraging reform in the countries it examines.

By combining rigorous research with clear, advocacy-driven communication, ECDHR serves as a vital source of independent insight for anyone concerned with democracy, human rights and the impact of technology on civil liberties.
