The purpose of P4HR is to remove the veil obscuring human rights violations on this planet, and brightly shine the light of truth on the perpetrators for the world to see. It is the nature of poets to lead the way for humanity and we will break the bonds of slavery and abuse wherever they may be with our observations and poignant words. http://www.poetsforhumanrights.org
