We are campaigners, lawyers and policy experts who work together to protect rights and hold the powerful to account. We empower others to defend their own rights and the rights of their family, friends and communities.

Challenging unjust laws, policies and practices

Whenever a new law, policy or practice threatens people’s rights or freedom – or offers a chance to end an injustice – we make sure those in power know what’s at stake and how they can take action.

Empowering and defending people and communities

We’re one of the only campaigning organisations in the UK that makes change by challenging injustice and defending our rights in the courts.

Influencing public policy and informing decision makers

We run campaigns to raise awareness of threats to our rights and influence national debate – and we inform decision makers and the public by speaking out in the press and on social media and publishing high-profile reports.
