The increase in hate crimes is anticipated to drive the growth of the human rights organizations market in the coming years. Hate crime refers to criminal acts directed at individuals or property that are motivated, wholly or in part, by bias against race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity. The rise in hate crimes is largely attributed to growing social and political polarization, which intensifies hostility toward certain groups and creates conditions in which discriminatory attitudes can escalate into targeted acts of violence. Human rights organizations play a critical role in addressing hate crimes by tracking incidents, advocating for stronger legal protections, and raising public awareness to encourage accountability and prevent discrimination. For example, in August 2025, according to the United States Department of Justice, a US-based government agency, reporting agencies documented 11,679 hate crime incidents involving 14,243 victims during calendar year 2024. Therefore, the increasing incidence of hate crimes is expected to contribute to the expansion of the human rights organizations market.
