We are an independent, non-profit, non-governmental human rights organisation, started by a group of activist lawyers in 1979.

Our programmes do strategic work in six areas of human rights law. Specialist legal practitioners and activists staff each programme.
LHR employs a holistic approach to social justice and human rights enforcement that includes strategic litigation, advocacy, law reform, human rights education, and community mobilisation and support.
