Our programmes focus on promoting and strengthening the protection of human rights for the poorest and most vulnerable citizens. Our work is currently based in China in three main programme areas:

• Improving Access to Justice
  Using the developing system of Chinese law as a base, we have been working to extend the rights and protections guaranteed by these laws to the most vulnerable. [more]

• Strengthening Public Participation in Decision Making
  Through stimulating awareness and dialogue on the value of public participation, we hope to encourage effective participatory practice in government decision-making. [more]

• Human Rights and Law Enforcement
  Criminal law reform has been one of our main areas of interest since our establishment, and we continue to work to improve the treatment of prisoners and detainees. [more]

Through local partnerships we aim to support the demand for better human rights protection and more accountable government. Together we develop and implement projects that offer practical and replicable solutions to the needs identified by beneficiary communities. Our Chinese partners range from academic institutions to legal aid centres and community organisations.
