The two types of organization that teach citizens about their rights are:

i) Civil Societies- Civil societies comprise of groups or organizations that work in the interest of the citizen's rights but operate outside the governmental and for-profit sectors. Such organizations and institutions include labor unions, non-profit organizations, churches. and,

ii) Human Rights Organizations- Major human rights organizations are constructed to maintain extensive websites where they document violations and call for remedial action, both at a governmental and grass-roots level. Organizations such as the Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) monitor the actions of governments and pressure them to act according to human rights principles.
