Human Rights Network for Tibet and Taiwan is a coalition comprising Taiwan-based NGOs. Individual members include Tibetan and Taiwanese social activists, college professors, writers, students and legislators, amongst people of many other professions. Although the members work on different issues, the common concern is human rights. Members of the HRNTT realize that the value of human rights is universal and that the suffering of one person in any part of the world is a burden on the whole world. On the other hand, improving the rights of one person anywhere in the world is an inspiration for people everywhere. We also recognize that Taiwan and Tibet share many common grounds, for historical reasons. Both of us need to struggle to protect and improve our rights. There is a lot to be learned from each other.
