Access to Justice
Justice with dignity. A voice for the unheard.
Understanding a concern and bringing it to the right institution can be an important step towards justice. HRPF supports public-interest advocacy for people facing injustice, with particular attention to vulnerable and disadvantaged communities.
Our priorities
Fair treatment starts with being heard.
We seek lawful, peaceful responses to rights concerns. Our focus is on clear documentation, access to institutions and respect for the dignity of people affected by injustice.
Complaints and documentation
We bring relevant facts, documents and previous proceedings together to explain concerns through complaints and representations to the appropriate institutions.
Vulnerable prisoners
We raise concerns affecting innocent and vulnerable prisoners, including treatment in detention and access to basic services and lawful remedies.
