#AllOurRightsInLaw

Human rights are not just abstract ideals; they are standards for our governments, intended to ensure that every person can live a life of dignity and respect. But - as our Lydia Murphy shows in her blog - they're out of reach for too many people.

- inspirational activist Heather Ford @makingrightsreal.bsky.social, human rights advocate & researcher Lydia Gitamvu, @InclusionScotland Julia & April from People Led Policy Panel #Empowerment means claiming dignity and equality, refusing to be excluded from decisions

Amazing panel @povertyalliance.org #RightsInAction webinar sharing what #Empowerment looks like - power of collective, peer support, knowing your rights to recognise when they're being breached & where to go for redress
