The Vida Human Rights Agency (ADHV) has the mission of promoting, defending, and protecting human rights through independent, ethical, and impartial action committed to human dignity. We work to ensure access to justice, strengthen citizenship, prevent and combat rights violations, and provide care, guidance, and support to individuals and communities facing social vulnerability.

Our mission is to develop initiatives that contribute to building a more just, democratic, inclusive, and compassionate society through human rights education, social mediation, institutional coordination, the promotion of public policies, and civil society mobilization. We operate with responsibility, transparency, and technical excellence to transform realities, reduce inequalities, and expand access to fundamental rights guaranteed by the Federal Constitution and international human rights treaties.

We are committed to defending life, promoting equal opportunities, and combating all forms of discrimination, violence, and social exclusion, while fostering a culture of peace, respect for diversity, civic participation, and social responsibility. ADHV believes that protecting human rights is a collective duty and an essential tool for sustainable development, social justice, and the strengthening of democracy.

Our mission is to be a permanent agent of social transformation, acting with integrity, humanity, and institutional commitment to ensure that every person has their rights respected, their voice heard, and their dignity preserved, thereby contributing to a Brazil that is more humane, safe, egalitarian, and committed to valuing life.
