The Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte e.V. (GFF) is a non-profit organization that is committed to defending fundamental and human rights in Germany and Europe with all its strength. Founded in 2015 in Berlin, the GFF has established itself as a central authority for the enforcement and protection of freedom rights.
The GFF pursues a clear mission: It strengthens democracy and civil society by opposing state and private encroachments on fundamental and human rights. The organization advocates for freedom from discrimination, the limitation of surveillance and digital scrutiny, as well as for the social participation of all people. The focus is on strategic litigation to achieve long-term and sustainable effects for fundamental and human rights[2][4][5].
The GFF focuses on three thematic areas:
The GFF is funded through membership fees, individual donations, and institutional grants, particularly from foundations. It rejects state funding and sponsorship from companies to maintain its political independence[1][3][4].
The GFF has joined the Initiative for Transparent Civil Society and is committed to making comprehensive information about its work, finances, and organization publicly accessible. This includes information on goals, sources of funding, use of funds, and personnel structure[1].
The Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte e.V. is a vibrant example of how civil society engagement and legal expertise can come together to strengthen fundamental and human rights in our society. Through its strategic work and strong networking with other organizations and alliance partners, the GFF makes a significant contribution to defending our democratic values.
