New Case Studies: How a Human Rights Act can Promote Dignity and Address Disadvantage

The Human Rights Law Resource Centre HRLRC continues to collect real life case studies which illustrate how human rights laws can be used to encourage common-sense policies and decisions that promote human dignity and addresses disadvantage.

The case studies demonstrate the ways in which legislation such as the Victorian Charter, the ACT Human Rights Act 2004 and the UK Human Rights Act 1998 are being used in areas such as disability, aged care, education, mental health and homelessness.

There are now more than 25 case studies are available on the HRLRC web-site.
