Your Rights: About this site

Welcome to Liberty's Your Rights website, our online guide to human rights law in England and Wales.

Liberty is an independent human rights organisation which works to defend and extend rights and freedoms in England and Wales.

Liberty is not overseen or regulated by a recognised representative or umbrella body.

We aim to secure equal rights and freedoms for everyone by:

lobbying government
working with the media to keep human rights issues in the public eye
pursuing human rights test cases through the English courts and the European Court of Human Rights, to challenge human rights violations and secure changes in the law.
