We’re proud to join forces once again with the Anglo-Jewish Association to strengthen #HumanRights protections for the UK’s Jewish community. Together, we’ll provide rights-based training to communal organisations, expand socio-economic protections through JERF & more.

Our new #Ambassadors began their journey last week, exploring how Jewish values shape #HumanRights.

With insights from @libertyhq.bsky.social's Sam Grant
on threats to UK rights, the cohort reflected, questioned and connected.

A child saved, a family lost, a legacy that warns us not to make the same mistakes.

With #Refugee #FamilyReunion now restricted, we must remember the human cost of separation, and our responsibility to prevent it.

This #16DaysOfActivism, we remind individuals of the significance of the #ECHR for UK society.

What has the European Convention on Human Rights been doing for us?

@deborasinger1.bsky.social talks about how the convention protects against #DomesticViolence.

In the UK, we have some of the highest rates of #ChildPoverty. Charities, faith groups & unions have been fighting for our kids, calling to end the cruel-two child benefit limit.

This week, the chancellor listened and acted. Now, hundreds of kids face a brighter future.

Would Britain have accepted Jewish refugees under today's rules? - Jewish News New government proposals risk stripping safety, stability and dignity from refugees today

The Government's new asylum policy risks condemning people to further insecurity and instability.

Our community's own refugee history compels us to speak out. We've joined with @renecassin.bsky.social to call for a far more compassionate approach.

This #16DaysOfActivism, we’re calling for #ActsOfHope actions that make safety real in the “small places, close to home", and the urgent need for government action that includes refugee and asylum-seeking women.

This #MitzvahDay, we’re turning Jewish values into action.
The Cost-of-Living crisis has undermined the basic rights that uphold human dignity. Rooted in kavod, we’re strengthening our commitment to justice all year long.

Our tradition reminds us: we were strangers once.

A 20-year route to citizenship leaves today’s refugees in insecurity. True protection means safety, dignity, and a chance to belong, not two decades of waiting.

@theajruk.bsky.social @boardofdeputies.bsky.social @hiasjcore.bsky.social

This #MizrahiHeritageMonth, The #WolfOfBaghdad reminds us that Jewish history is also a story of displacement, resilience & return. As we honour the experiences of Iraqi Jews forced to flee their homes, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting today’s refugees and asylum seekers.

Good news!
After our Uyghur Tomato campaign exposing forced labour in supply chains, UK & European supermarkets have committed to removing products linked to abuses in Xinjiang. A real step forward for human rights. Thank you to everyone who took action; it works.

Thank you to our brilliant speakers at last night’s #HumanRights, A #MoralCompass event, showing why the UK’s human rights framework still matters. It protects dignity, safeguards & turns values into action.

Karen Lewis @jewishwomensaid.bsky.social, “The HRA turns principles into practice”.

@fft.bsky.social @universityofessex.bsky.social @hrw.org

Last week, we joined fellow members of the @justfairuk.bsky.social delegation for a meeting at the Ministry of Justice with officials from the Rights & Public Law team. The discussion focused on the UK Government’s response to the UN Committee on Economic, Social & Cultural Rights’.

#EverydayRights

The #ECHR remains a cornerstone of dignity, justice & accountability, protecting fundamental rights. Organisations like @libertyhq.bsky.social remind us why these protections still matter, and why we must defend them.
