With a Human Rights Act, the government would need to respect human rights when making decisions, including our right to adequate housing, a healthy environment, education, health, and more.

We’re an independent, global movement of people who campaign courageously for human rights. In more than 150 countries worldwide, over 10 million of us stand together for justice, freedom, human dignity and equality.
