Our work
We campaign for economic, social and cultural rights, a category of human rights recognised under international law, holding the UK Government and public authorities to account to make sure that law, policy and practice comply with human rights standards.
Current work
We work to ensure that the UK governments and public authorities are effectively held to account in relation to their human rights obligations, including economic, social and cultural rights, ensuring that all individuals can fully enjoy their rights of everyday life.
We chair the UK ESCR Network. The Network is a collective of organisations and individuals committed to the promotion and protection of economic, social and cultural rights without discrimination in the UK as a whole and across the devolved jurisdictions.
Health is a universal human right. Achieving the right to health is about creating a world where everyone can access quality healthcare throughout their life. However, the reality for people across the UK is very far from this ideal. It’s time for change, and we need to act.
We work with people, organisations and communities across the UK to support the development of human rights-based solutions to the issues they face.
We campaign for the UK Government to enact the socio-economic duty contained in Section 1 of the Equality Act, and encourage local authorities in England to implement the duty at a local level.
Previous work
We are living in an era of crisis. From austerity to the cost-of-living crisis, many of us are hungry, cold, and destitute. This is a human rights issue: the UK Government is failing in its obligation to protect our rights. It’s time for change: everyday rights must become part of our domestic law.
We want to make our everyday rights part of UK law, so we are discusing the issue and developing ideas on how this can be achieved across the UK. It’s the everyday rights conversation.
