Our Campaigns
As survivors of intolerance, slavery, persecution, marginalisation and discrimination, we believe that a ‘Jewish voice for human rights’ carries an authoritative weight of experience that adds force to advocacy and awareness raising efforts.
tackling anti-jewish hatred
Anti–Jewish hatred in the UK is rising and changing, appearing in public services, civic spaces, political discourse and everyday life. Jewish identity is often misunderstood, treated as only religious rather than also ethnic, making discrimination harder to identify and address.

International human rights law developed in response to the horrors of Holocaust; a practical expression of the necessity to ensure that nation states would never again be allowed to oppress their own citizens. It is a framework that based on the principle that human rights are universal and indivisible.
