From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Breakthrough:Building Human Rights Culture, is a path-breaking international human rights organization that uses innovative media strategies and popular culture to promote dialogue and awareness about some of the most challenging social issues facing the world today.

Working through offices in India and the United States, Breakthrough has reached millions through music albums and video, documentaries, media campaigns, animation, podcasts, and thousands more through workshops and forums in education institutions and community spaces.

In the United States, Breakthrough has launched Value Families, a media and education campaign that highlights how unjust immigration laws are separating families and destroying communities. More than one million people have been deported from the US in the last decade, many of them legal residents. Through an online radio show, video games, animations and workshops, Value Families is encouraging civic engagement and public dialgue on the importance of protecting the human rights of all those who live in America.

In India, Breakthrough brought national public attention to the growing incidence of HIV/AIDS amongst married women in India, where more than 2 million women are infected with the virus. Through our multi-media campaign, "What Kind of Man Are You?." we reached more than 75 million people through television, radio, and print outlets, as well as movie theaters, billboards and bookstores.
