Lawyers for Human Rights (LHR) is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization that has been fighting for human rights since 1979. With a team of expert legal practitioners and activists, LHR is dedicated to assisting vulnerable and marginalized individuals and communities in South Africa. Their mission is to use the law as a powerful instrument for positive change, both for their clients and in the public interest.

LHR offers a range of programs focused on critical areas of human rights law, including refugee and migrant rights, strategic litigation, penal reform, land and housing issues, environmental rights, and gender equality. Through impact litigation, legal advice, and law reform, LHR actively works to ensure that the rights enshrined in the Constitution are upheld. In addition to their legal services, LHR prioritizes advocacy, rights education, and community-based outreach.

By fostering partnerships with organizations and communities, they ensure their work remains responsive to the evolving social justice issues of the day.
