rights defender
... depending on whether that is these people's function according to the rest of your context. "rights defenders" is found more frequently than "rights promoters" in a Yahoo search (787,000 hits compared with 1,590).
Here is a description of what these people do (please see link): "Se formó inicialmente con 142 promotoras capacitadas y trabajando por la promoción y defensa de los Derechos Humanos, con la misión de popularizar el conocimiento de los Derechos Humanos así como su defensa práctica."

: defenders, promoters, advocates. One NGO calls itself HRDefenders and Promoters. So there are all these degrees of "closeness " to the term.

advocate
Advocacy is a huge buzzword in the field, and it's most commonly rendered as "promoción" in Spanish.
You'll see that "rights advocate" gets hundreds of thousands of hits on Google and elsewhere.
