The objective of BRAC Advocacy and Human Rights Unit (BAHRU) is to assist collective and individual behaviour to reach BRAC programme milestones through a rights-based approach. BAHRU uses advocacy and social communication tools including Gonon Natok (People’s Theatre) and audio/video shows in its work.

Since its establishment in 2002, BAHRU has been working with the programme ‘Challenging the Frontiers of Poverty Reduction – Targeting the Ultra Poor' (CFPR-TUP) and has developed a comprehensive social communication model to mobilise civil society to help the ultra poor.

BAHRU has also been assisting the BRAC Health Programme (BHP) with the National Tuberculosis Control Programme since July 2005. The same year, BAHRU also piloted a project on ‘Migration Rights’ to enhance the capacity of migrants and their families to facilitate a safe and productive migration.
