The Society for Civil Rights e.V. (Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte e.V. or "GFF") is a donor-funded organization that defends fundamental and human rights by legal means. The organization promotes democracy and civil society, protects against disproportionate surveillance and advocates for equal rights and social participation for everyone. To that end, the GFF conducts strategic litigation, lodges constitutional complaints against laws that violate fundamental rights and contributes its legal expertise to social debates.
