Our programmes do strategic work in six areas of human rights law. Specialist legal practitioners and activists staff each programme.
LHR employs a holistic approach to social justice and human rights enforcement that includes strategic litigation, advocacy, law reform, human rights education, and community mobilisation and support.

Impact litigation, legal advice, and law reform: developing the law to bring it in line with the rights in the Constitution
LHR provides legal services through its law clinics and advice offices, located in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Musina, and Durban. This allows us to identify trends and strategic issues arising across the country and across vulnerable groups that may benefit from litigation.
