Campaign for Uyghurs (Uyghur: ئۇيغۇر ھەرىكىتى; Simplified Chinese: 维吾尔运动, Traditional Chinese: 維吾爾運動; Turkish: Uygur Hareketi; abbreviated CFU) is a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization. The organization operates to advocate for the democratic rights and freedoms of the Uyghur people, both in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (called East Turkestan by some) and around the world.
Campaign for Uyghurs describes its advocacy efforts in the framework of "[mobilizing] individuals and the international community and build bridges to take action on behalf of and to raise public awareness of the Uyghur issue with a special focus on Uyghur women and youth and to activate persons and entities to work together to stop the systematic human rights abuses against the people of East Turkestan.[1]
The organization has testified in the US Congress, provided policy recommendations, and hosted speaking events, such as panels of witnesses and experts, to highlight and raise awareness of what the organization describes as genocidal policies that the Uyghurs are facing.
