Helping Make Human Rights Happen in our communities!

On the eve of global human rights day (10 December) the British Institute of Human Rights launches Making Human Rights Happen, an inspiring new resource to help people put human rights into action in our communities.

Explaining human rights in a fun and accessible way this new resource draws on real life examples from a range of groups such as N-Compass, an advocacy service for carers in North West England and Arcadea, a disability arts organisation in Northumbria.
