How we achieve change

 

IN COURT

We challenge unjust laws, policies and practices by taking landmark legal cases on the most pressing human rights issues of our time.

From challenging new police surveillance technology that invades your privacy to securing freedom of religion in the workplace and winning pension equality for same-sex couples, our cases help dismantle unfair laws and procedures so that everyone’s rights are protected and respected.

IN GOVERNMENT

We influence policy to secure lasting change for the most marginalised.

Whenever new laws or Government plans threaten people’s rights, we make sure those in power know what’s at stake and how they can take action.

And when a chance to end ongoing injustice arises in Parliament, we make sure MPs know how to seize the opportunity.

We regularly meet with decision makers, brief politicians, respond to consultations and give expert written and oral evidence to parliamentary committees to make sure rights are protected in new laws and policies.

IN SOCIETY

We uncover injustice and inspire people to stand up to power.

We expose hidden abuses of power with groundbreaking investigations and influence debate through the press, television, radio and online media.

Our campaigns give national attention to threats to our rights and we work closely with a diverse group of campaigners, grassroots organisations and people with first-hand experience of the issues to create real change.

At the heart of all our work are our thousands of members and supporters – brave people who speak uncomfortable truths and champion the rights of others they might never even meet.

Our members guide our work at our annual members’ conference, make our voice stronger and play a pivotal role in changing society for the better.

IN COMMUNITIES

We empower people to stand up for their rights.

We provide free legal advice to thousands of people every year so that they can protect their rights – and those of their families, friends and communities – against abuses of power.
