We were proud to organise this important delegation of civil society organisations and people with lived experience to the Ministry of Justice.

The fight continues for a more rights respecting UK!
Last week, we joined fellow members of the @justfairuk.bsky.social delegation for a meeting at the Ministry of Justice with officials from the Rights & Public Law team. The discussion focused on the UK Government’s response to the UN Committee on Economic, Social & Cultural Rights’.

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ Today resident doctors in England will strike for five consecutive days.

They are striking to demand a pay rise to salaries which despite recent lifts, are still a fifth lower than it was in 2008, once inflation is taken into account.

Former PM Gordon Brown calls child poverty a “shameful epidemic.”

With 4.45 million children in poverty, this isn’t just an economic crisis, it’s a human rights failure. Every child has the right to food, housing, health and education. Denying these is denying their rights.

The ex-Labour leader will also call for Rachel Reeves to raise taxes on gambling firms to cover the cost of lifting the two-child benefit cap

Poverty, populism and policy failure: why the UK needs a rights-based reset | Just Fair
The UK’s retreat from economic, social and cultural rights protection and promotion is not only deepening poverty and inequality but also creating fertile ground for far-right populism to thrive. As the UK Government sidelines international obligations, we are quickening down a dangerous path. A warning ignored: the UN’s call for action In March 2025, the […]

Just Fair’s work has helped centre this as a rights crisis, not just a housing issue. We must demand accountability, not accept these numbers as inevitable.

🕊️ This week marks the anniversary of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. This is a reminder of why strong, independent human rights institutions matter.

At a time when rights are being tested, the EHRC’s role is vital: to protect equality, uphold human dignity, and hold power to account.

We’re joining @bigissue.com and 65 others in an open letter urging the UK Government to set targets in the upcoming child poverty strategy.

4.5 million children are growing up in poverty in the UK, and while ministers have been promising change, the figures keep rising.
