Human Rights Advocate

A Human Rights Advocate promotes and protects the rights and freedoms of individuals and groups. You might work for non-governmental organisations, government agencies, or international bodies. Human Rights Advocates focus on legal representation, policy development, and public education. You’ll conduct research, draft reports, and engage in advocacy to address human rights violations and support affected communities.

Human Rights Advocates play a vital role in social justice and equality. You’ll need to be compassionate and resilient, with strong communication and analytical skills. You’ll liaise with legal professionals, community organisations, and policymakers to ensure that human rights are upheld and that those in need receive appropriate support and representation.
