Human Rights Day, 21 March calls for reflection on the progressive standard of rights enshrined in the South African Constitution. The Bill of Rights is a cornerstone of democracy in South Africa. It enshrines the rights of all people in the country and affirms the democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom.
The Public Interest Law team uses their specialist skills to; defend these rights and to promote the fair and just operation of laws, policies and practices; for constitutional law reform; for strategic use of the law to effect social change and to provide advocacy for the most vulnerable and marginalised social groups.
The team is proud to have been involved in landmark matters which have contributed to South Africa making great strides towards the realisation of human rights in our country.
