The Labour Campaign for Human Rights (LCHR) is an organisation that promotes human rights within the Labour Party.

Our activities include:

• Discussion: LCHR serves as a forum and platform for Labour members and others who have an interest in human rights. We foster dialogue between civil society, academia, the public, and the Labour Party on human rights issues.
• Advocacy: we engage with Labour Party policy and Labour politicians to ensure that human rights are at the heart of Labour’s foreign and domestic policy agendas.
• Policy work: LCHR generates policy proposals for the Labour Party that ensure the protection and promotion of human rights.
• Public, grassroots campaigning and awareness raising: we raise the profile of human rights issues within the party and the wider Labour movement.
