Two employees of aditus, dedicate a percentage of their working hours to PHROM. For the first two years, the Executive Committee of PHROM is made up of: aditus foundation, Din l-Art Helwa, MGRM, Richmond Foundation and Victim Support Malta.  PHROM was established under the first call of the EEA Grants and has since been applying with various funding programmes to ensure its sustainability.  Taking on a more generic and broader approach to human rights, partners include PHROM's Member Organisations and other International Human Rights Networks. 
Mission and Objectives

PHROM’s mission shall be to provide a national forum for human rights organisations in Malta to develop, promote and advocate for the values of human dignity and equality more effectively.
PHROM is grounded in the values cited in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. PHROM believes that effective human rights recognition and enjoyment by all persons in Malta strengthens and empowers the whole of Maltese society. PHROM holds that the multitude of human rights can only be fully realised if they are endorsed as interrelated and interdependent, embracing all civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights.
PHROM understands that active citizenship and civic participation based on democratic principles of inclusivity and mutual understanding are central to national, regional and international efforts at combating inequalities and human rights violations and improving community empowerment.
