Our Impact

Here at BIHR, we work to enable change through human rights by supporting people and organisations to use human rights advocacy and approaches in their everyday life to achieve positive social change. BIHR’s vision is of a strong and just society, in which all people can live well and flourish, safe in the knowledge that their human rights are being respected, protected and fulfilled in their local communities and at the national level. Find out more about our mission, vision and aims here.

At BIHR we aim for the light bulb moments - when people make the connection between human rights and the work they do every day. We move human rights from the law books to everyday life, using real examples and a practical human rights based approach.
