The Society for Threatened Peoples has a strong focus on Eastern Europe and other parts of Eurasia, including Russia and the Balkans, but it also works with countries in Africa and the Middle East.

Regional groups support the work of the STP-Germany in a few German cities, including Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Münster and Nuremberg.

The STPI publishes press releases, organizes public demonstrations, arranges post card fund raising campaigns, prepares reports for court hearings,[citation needed] produces educational materials for teachers,[citation needed] and publishes the journal "Pogrom", which is a source of information about the situation of ethnic and religious minorities.

Since its founding, a main focus of the human rights work of the STP, has been the African continent;[citation needed] though the STPI is not represented by a section.

In Kosovo the STP-Germany paid for a team that, under the direction of the human rights worker Paul Polansky, worked for the interests of the Roma.

In the Middle East the Kurds play an important role for the STP: This pushed the STP-Germany to open a STPI office in the Kurdish area of northern Iraq.
