To raise awareness about the issues, HHRO publishes an annual report on the human rights situation in Iraq.

With the Wardas' coordination, it was able to get activists on board with their ideal and formed an official NGO to promote and protect human rights in Iraq.

The HHRO monitors the implication of those policies and international treaties, while at the same time trying to watch over the legislative, executive and judicial branches to make sure that none violates human rights.

To do so, they produce annual reports to showcase the violation of human rights of the Iraqi people and foreigners living in the country.

By organizing seminars and workshops they provide opportunities to educate and raise awareness of core human rights issues.

[15] The project focuses on groups such as women, children, ethnic and religious minorities, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and more.
