INTERIGHTS provides leadership and support in the legal protection of human rights. We work to ensure that human rights standards are protected and promoted effectively in domestic courts and before regional and international bodies. 

Our three main working methods are providing expertise and support in strategic human rights litigation in priority thematic areas and other issues of particular regional significance; building legal capacity of lawyers and judges through targeted training in human rights law, internships and through collaborative litigation with local partners; and disseminating information that enhances the use of human rights law.

We work on economic and social rights, particularly the right to health and the right to education; equality, including women’s human rights, the rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and the rights of persons with disabilities; and security and the rule of law, including a focus on counter-terrorism and human rights.

We work regionally in Africa, Europe (with a focus on South Eastern, Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, including the South Caucasus region) and the Middle East and North Africa.
