Levels of homelessness across the UK are unprecedented. Human rights are the answer to fixing it.

Larry the cat has lived in 10 Downing Street for 13 years. He's picked up a few things.

Share his plan to protect human rights and end homelessness ✊🏾

As more communities are forced from their homes by the climate crisis, we must fight for people’s right to safety.

Sudanese women, men and children fleeing the armed conflict in their country and seeking safety across the border into Egypt, are being rounded up en masse and arbitrarily detained in deplorable and inhumane conditions before being unlawfully deported.

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

Human rights are solutions to the crises we face at home and abroad.

Worried about the housing crisis?
An unfair and broken asylum system?
Justice for war crimes in Gaza?

Human rights are the answer.

SRI LANKA: Peaceful protest is not a crime. Yet, Sri Lankan authorities resort to tear gas, water cannon, batons, and even the military to silence and intimidate dissent. The Sri Lankan government must respect and protect the right to peaceful protest!
