101 cases: How Charters of Human Rights make our lives better
KEY PROJECT | Charters of Human Rights
The Human Rights Law Centre launched an online resource to build support for charters of rights. 101 cases: How Charters of Human Rights make our lives better shows the human impact of ensuring our rights are fully protected in law.
No matter who we are or where we are, our lives are better when we all treat each other with fairness and respect and when we can all enjoy our rights and freedoms. Charters of Human Rights promote respect for human rights and give people power to take action if their rights are breached.
The Human Rights Law Centre has developed an online resource that shows 101 examples of how Charters of Rights that exist in the ACT, Victoria and Queensland are making people’s lives better.
These cases show the human impact of ensuring our rights are fully protected in law. The resource can be used by organisations and communities campaigning for Charter of rights in states and territories which do not yet have them: New South Wales, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
