Welcome to Human Rights Radio

At Human Rights Radio

Through music, we amplify the stories that matter, raise awareness for human rights, and unite people in a shared quest for change. In every corner of the world, music has the power to speak. We believe that songs are more than melodies—they are calls for justice, cries for freedom, and anthems of resilience. Let the songs become the soundtrack of hope, as we turn up the volume on human dignity.

Our Work:

At Human Rights Radio, we raise awareness of global human rights issues by releasing songs that highlight these challenges, provide a platform for individuals to share their stories and playlist, and collaborate with activists, artists, and organizations to drive meaningful change.
