Human Rights

RightsInfo is about bringing human rights to life using beautiful infographics, stories and social media. The project is the brainchild of leading barrister Adam Wagner, founder of the acclaimed UK Human Rights Blog.

Human rights in the UK have an image problem. The public debate is based on misinformation and lack of understanding. Laws and judgments are aimed at specialists. This means that most people are ambivalent or negative towards human rights. That is where RightsInfo comes in. We believe there is huge potential to do a better job at explaining why human rights matter and how they can change people’s lives. RightsInfo is about using social media to find new ways to talk about and deliver human rights stories and information.

“… a great example of how to present complex statutes, judgments and policies in a way that looks interesting and easy to understand.”

Creative Review, 22 April 2015

RightsInfo launch on 21 April 2015 and received over 250,000 page views in its first five weeks. They want to radically change the way human rights are communicated. Good idea.
