Do I need to be a lawyer to use human rights?

At BIHR we believe that human rights are everyone's rights, they are not merely legal issues to be addressed in courts. Human rights are essential to our everyday lives, empowering each of us to call for prevention and to challenge and change decisions and systems before problems escalate. The Human Rights Act (HRA) is a vital tool that enables people to assert their rights proactively, ensuring that they can address potential violations and advocate for justice within their communities, rather than waiting until violations need redress through court action.
