Buraku Liberation and Human Rights Research Institute (BLHRRI)

Established in 1968, the Buraku Liberation and Human Rights Research Institute (部落解放・人権研究所, BLHRRI) aims to eliminate all forms of discrimination and establish human rights in society.

The institute has established divisions on issues such as discrimination against Buraku communities, gender-based discrimination structures, human rights education and awareness, anti-discrimination law, and social exclusion, and conducts research and study activities in these areas. In 2005, it launched the Constitutional Issues Project as a subcommittee, engaging in research and study on matters related to constitutional revision.
