The Rafto Human Rights House is a dynamic centre for voluntary human rights work in Bergen. Voluntary organisations play an essential role in promoting democratic social development, they make significant contributions to the official debate and strengthen the foundation for active societal engagement by individuals. By gathering several organisations under the same roof, we have developed an efficient and weighty professional milieu.
