ABOUT US
Harvard College Human Rights in Equatorial Guinea (HREG) is a Harvard student group dedicated to raising awareness of the disturbing human rights situation in Equatorial Guinea. The leaders of Equatorial Guinea are considered among the worst abusers of human rights in Africa, but the U.S. government continually turns a blind eye to the situation because Equatorial Guinea possesses oil to which Washington wants access. We strive to raise awareness about the issue on campus and beyond, as well as mobilize Harvard students and community members to work for the cause. The group also seeks opportunities to urge the U.S. government to take action and thereby improve the human rights situation in Equatorial Guinea.
