Centre for Human Rights in Practice

Welcome to the Warwick Centre for Human Rights in Practice

The Centre for Human Rights in Practice undertakes a wide variety of research, capacity-building and other project work aimed at promoting human rights, locally, nationally and globally. Current initiatives of the Centre include the 'Writing Wrongs' project, the YOU*th Inspire project, working with the EU's Fundamental Rights Agency, conducting various kinds of Human Rights Impact Assessments and also the International Criminal Law project.

Unravelling Equality? A Human Rights and Equality Impact Assessment of the Public Spending Cuts on Women in Coventry

The Full Report and Executive Summary are available here.

For more information about the launch, Parliamentary debates on the report and next steps and press coverage please click here.

In January 2012 the Centre is beginning work on a new report examining the ongoing impact of the public spending cuts on older women in Coventry. The Report will be published later in the year

New Projects in 2012

We are introducing two new student-focused projects:

Writing Wrongs: where students will have the chance to write and perhaps publish fiction, non-fiction, journalism and other creative projects related to human rights.

International Criminal Law: where opportunities for internships at international criminal tribunals, talks and research work will be pursued.

If any student is interested in either of these projects, please contact Andrew Williams at A.T.Williams@warwick.ac.uk
