Dui Hua Foundation

San Francisco, California

Our Mission

Dui Hua is a nonprofit humanitarian organization that seeks clemency and better treatment for at-risk detainees through the promotion of universally recognized human rights in a well-informed, mutually respectful dialogue with China. Focusing on political and religious prisoners, juvenile justice, women in prison, and issues in criminal justice, our work rests on the premise that positive change is realized through constructive relationships and exchange.

Who We Are

Established in 1999, Dui Hua achieves its mission through five approaches: advocacy, expert exchange, research, publications, and community engagement. With offices in San Francisco and Hong Kong, and a deep understanding of both Western and Chinese society and politics, Dui Hua engages in and facilitates dialogue that advances the rights of at-risk detainees. As a testament to our work, Dui Hua enjoys special consultative status with the United Nations' Economic and Social Council and is the only independent NGO focused on human rights in China to have such status.
