Introducing our new campaign: Human rights. Our rights.

We're delighted to share with you the Human Rights. Our Rights. campaign. The campaign builds public support for human rights, so that everybody understands, values and feels empowered to use them. 

Through two 60” films, we bring to life two rights – the right to respect for private and family life and the right to freedom from slavery and forced labour. The films feature real-life focus groups responding to credible but fake products that have features that breach our human rights – they demonstrate how human rights matter to the British public.
